Left parties to launch agitation against corruption
NEW DELHI: The four Left parties – CPM, CPI, Forward Bloc and Revolutionary Socialist Party – have decided to launch a week-long nationwide stir against corruption from July 15.
Coming ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, the proposed Left agitation will seek immediate measures to curb corruption in all spheres of public life.
Their five-fold demand against corruption includes adoption of an effective Lokpal legislation. The CPM has already steered clear of giving its views to the joint drafting committee. Instead, it has told the government that the party would articulate its views when the government introduces the bill in Parliament.
The Left parties have also demanded setting up of a National Judicial Commission to curb corruption in the higher judiciary and stringent action against rampant graft fostered by the big business-politician-bureaucratic nexus which has led to scandals such as the 2G spectrum case.
The four parties have also demanded implementation of electoral reforms including introduction of the proportional representation system to check money power in elections and concrete steps to unearth black money and repatriation of illegal money stashed abroad.
During the week-long agitation, the four parties will picket central government offices, hold demonstrations, dharnas and rallies. They would also hold a demonstration outside Parliament on these demands after the monsoon session begins.
