Member of the National Advisory Council (NAC)

"Landep News"

Member of the National Advisory Council (NAC), Aruna Roy on Wednesday had come to meet the India Against Corruption activist Anna Hazare. Roy, who was critical about the demands of Hazare regarding the Lokpal Bill, was concerned about his health.

Aruna while talking to the reporters said that she was here as she was concerned about his health and wants to see him healthy. Anna is today on the ninth day of his fast. His energy level has gone down but his spirits are still high.

Roy refused to talk or comment about the Jan Lokpal Bill or her version of the bill. Just days back the social activist had said that hazare’s indefinite fast for forcing the civil society’s version of the Lokpal Bill was wrong.

Aruna also expressed that Hazare has been ill advised and that it is wrong to undermine the democratic institutions. Roy has severely criticized Hazare’s version of the Lokpal Bill saying that it would give too many powers to the Lokpal and is against the Gandhian principles of decentralization of powers.
