April 7th, 2011 - 6:15 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, April 7 (IANS) Former minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor Thursday tweeted that he supported activist Anna Hazarae in his crusade against corruption but added that discussions on the bill must take place.
“Sorry, have been focused on Kerala campaign. Huge respect for Anna Hazare. Unconditionally support consensual national action against corruption,” Tharoor wrote on microblogging website Twitter.
However, Tharoor added that discussions on the Lokpal Bill were inevitable and not all points could be supported. “But that doesn’t mean every point in Anna’s list can be supported without discussion. Consultations on Lokpal bill are indispensable,” he added.
Anna Hazare is observing a fast-unto-death at Jantar Mantar here, demanding a more stringent anti-corruption law.
