New Delhi : The Communist Party of India (CPI) Thursday asked the government not to surrender the sovereignty of parliament and accused it of bringing the anti-graft Lokpal bill in an “unusual haste” for the fear of Anna Hazare.
“I appeal to the Congress party and to the government that under no circumstances the sovereignty of parliament should be surrendered,” CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta said after the government introduced the Lokpal bill in the Lok Sabha.
Referring to the impending phase of Hazare agitation, Dasgupta asked: “Is it that we are not fighting corruption on our own and we are doing it because somebody else is threatening.
“The Lokpal bill is being sought to be introduced in unusual haste,” Dasgupta said.
