Prime VIP
The
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Saturday said the central
government was harassing Anna
Hazare's associates and it was
clear that the Congress will attack
'anybody who raises his voice
against corruption'.
Flaying the Congress-led United
Progressive Alliance (UPA)
government, BJP leader Ravi
Shankar Prasad said: ?Action
taken by the Congress-led
government has proved beyond
doubt that this party believes in
training its guns against anybody
and everybody who raises his
voice against corruption.?
Addressing a press conference
here, Prasad said: ?It is really
shocking the way the central
government is going about
harassing Anna Hazare and his
team, including Arvind Kejriwal,
who is now being branded as the
biggest law offender.?
?If Kejriwal was such an
undesirable person as the central
government is now trying to
paint him, then why did top
Congress ministers invite him for
long parleys on the Jan Lokpal
Bill?? he asked.
He said that anyone who raises
the issue of corruption becomes
persona non grata for the
Congress leadership.
'This is also happening with Kiran
Bedi and Prashant Bhushan,' he
added.
Prasad was of the view that the
various notices issued by
different government
departments to Team Anna
members were simply intended
to intimidate them.
?We have seen this happening
earlier when Congress leaders
initially hailed Baba Ramdev, but
the moment he started talking
about India?s black money
stacked in Swiss banks, he
became their target of ridicule
and contempt,? he said.
?Congress, Bahujan Samaj Party
and Samajwadi Party are part of
the same triangle on the issue of
corruption,? Prasad added.
