Bring Media, Corporate Houses Under Lokpal : Lalu

Mirzapur, Oct 6: RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav today said the electronic media and corporate houses should be brought under the purview of the proposed Lokpal Bill to fight graft effectively.

“The electronic media and corporate houses should also come under the purview of the Lokpal. This is the view of many members of the Standing Committee set up for the issue,” he told reporters here.

To a question, Lalu said “corruption is all pervasive in the country and it cannot be checked only through Lokpal.”

The former Bihar Chief Minister, here to pay obeisance to deity Vindhyavasini, said Gandhian Anna Hazare himself believed that the anti-graft bill would check only 60 per cent of corruption.

“But what about the remaining 40 per cent?” he asked.
