New Delhi:
A Pune-based
NGO Wednesday filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against
social activist Anna Hazare accusing him of corruption and
demanding his removal from the joint drafting committee on the
Lokpal Bill.
National Anti-corruption Public Power president Heman Baburao
Patil alleged that Hazare's NGO Hind Swaraj Trust was found guilty
of corrupt practices in an inquiry by retired Supreme Court judge P.B. Sawant.
"One of the trusts run by Hazare is still unregistered and has
been receiving money illegally in violation and contravention of
laws," Patil alleged in his petition.
The petition is likely to come up before a high court bench
Thursday.
Patil alleged several other criminal complaints were also pending
against the 73-year-old activist.
He demanded that Hazare should be removed from the committee
constituted for drafting the Lokpal Bill.
Hazare went on a 97-hour fast earlier this month following which
the government set up a joint panel of cabinet ministers and
members of civil society to draft a stringent Lokpal Bill.
