The Anna Hazare-led civil society and the government are once again staring at a deadlock with both the sides toughening their stand on the Lokpal Bill. Here are some comments on the stalemate.
Anna Hazare, anti-corruption activist: "I have lost 3 and half kilos but don't worry. We will keep fighting for Lokpal Bill. I feel a little weak but there is nothing to worry about it. The fight will go on till we get a strong Lokpal."
Shanti Bhushan, former Law minister and member of the Lokpal draft panel: "The government can pass it (Lokpal Bill) within days if it has a strong will to do it. I have been a Union Law minister and I know how things happen in government."
Arvind Kejriwal, RTI Activist and close aide of Anna Hazare: "If the government desires, it can pass 15 bills in five minutes. But for the anti-corruption bill, they are taking more than 42 years. So we want to know how many more years will they take?"
Amitabh Bachchan, Bollowood actor: "A movement like this comes within the constitutional boundaries of our country. In a democracy like ours, everyone has the right and freedom to voice their opinion about any issue. We understand the system and if one follows it, then there is no problem."
