Anna being misled on Lokpal issue: Kejriwal

Kejriwal, who in 2011 was with Hazare, also tweeted that “None of the 3 conditions which were agreed upon when Anna broke his fast in Aug 2011 are there in this jokepal.” The government yesterday brought the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill to the Rajya Sabha in an amended form.

Hazare, who has been fasting for the last five days for passage of Lokpal Bill, today said he was happy with the amended legislation presented in the Rajya Sabha and would call off his hunger strike the moment the law was enacted.

“I will call off my fast as soon as the bill is passed by the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha endorses it and the President signs it into a law,” Hazare told reporters.

But the AAP leader said that it was interesting to see that BJP and Congress have agreed on this “jokepal”, and questioned “what does this jokepal achieve?” CBI has not been made autonomous. CBI will continue to be under government's control, he added.

“So why did Anna agree for such a jokepal? Which forces are misleading him? I am really sad,” he tweeted, and also said that whatever Anna may say he and his party would continue their fight for Janlokpal till their last breath.
