New Delhi: On the eve of winter session, social activist Anna Hazare today raised the pitch on Lokpal issue, threatening to launch another agitation if a “weak” bill is brought in Parliament. “Currently it is with the Standing Committee and they (MPs) are discussing it. I do not know in which form it will come. But if they bring a weak Jan Lokpal Bill then again I will go to Ramlila ground,” Hazare told NDTV.

Hazare had launched and indefinite hunger strike in August at Ramlila Ground here to press for a strong Lokpal. He ended his 12-day fast after Parliament endorsed in principle three of his key demands to deal with corruption. PTI
