‘Rafale Would Not Have Happened If Lokpal Was Implemented’ Says Anna Hazare

New Delhi: A scam like Rafale would not have happened if Lokpal Bill was implemented, anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare said on Monday while announcing his indefinite hunger strike from January 30 demanding setting up of Lokpal and Lokayuktas, farm loan waiver and one-time pension for farmers. Hazare said he didn’t understand how a company which was formed in March was given the contract in April “without any prior experience”. “I have some papers on Rafale and I will study them and address the issue again,” Anna Hazare said while addressing the media. Anna Hazare also announced that he will be going on “fast until death” from January 30 in his village Ralegan Siddhi to demand the setting up of Lokpal and Lokayukta. (IANS)
