New Delhi : Every Indian has a right to protest against corruption, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa declared Tuesday.
In an oblique criticism of the government’s attacks on Gandhian Anna Hazare and yoga guru Baba Ramdev, she told reporters here: “Every Indian citizen has the democratic right to protest against corruption. Everybody should be given the right to exercise their democratic right.”
Jayalalithaa was asked to comment on the recent protests organised by Hazare and Ramdev.
But she offered no comments on the proposed Lokpal bill, saying her government had sought more time to respond to the questions posed by the central government on the subject.
