‘Lokpal alone cannot stop corruption'

‘Lokpal alone cannot stop corruption': "PUBLIC interest lawyer Prashant Bhushan was nominated by Anna Hazare as one of the five civil society members to the 10-member committee constituted by the Central government to draft the new Lokpal Bill by June 30. With his father, former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan, also in the same committee, critics called it an instance of nepotism. Hazare, however, justified Prashant Bhushan's inclusion in the committee by saying that it was done in view of his legal expertise and his role in the drafting of the Jan Lokpal Bill. In this interview with Frontline, Prashant Bhushan keeps a considerable distance from the public adulation that greeted Hazare and his team following his successful fast. He offers an impartial critique of Hazare and his convictions, quite unmindful of the media's compliment that both he and Hazare are the new agents of change."
