Palampur (HP), Oct 8 : The result of the Hisar Lok Sabha by-election will be a test case for the Jan Lokpal Bill, Team Anna member and prominent lawyer Shati Bhushan said today.
He claimed that two of the three main candidates for the by-polls had in writing supported the Bill but the Congress candidate had not given any such undertaking.
There is a consensus in the country against corruption, and if the Centre wishes to pass the Bill in Parliament, it can do so on its own strength, Bhushan said at the sidelines of a function here.
Another Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan said the main reason for acceptance of the Jan Lokpal Bill by the people was that they were fed up with corruption.
The government was acquiring the land of the people and giving it to big industrialists on cheap rates for setting up enterprises, he alleged adding that Public-Private-Partnership was nothing but “crony capitalism”. PTI
