Lokpal Bill Could Create A ‘Gaddafi’: Thackeray

After targeting social activist Anna Hazare, the Shiv Sena Thursday
came out strongly against the proposed Jan Lokpal bill, stating it
could create a 'Gaddafi' in the country.

"There is no need to create an impression among people that the Jan
Lokpal bill will lead to 'Ram Rajya' in the country. There is a need
to strengthen the existing anti-graft laws to end corruption in
India," party president Bal Thackeray said.

Toeing his father's line in Thursday's edition of the party
mouthpiece, 'Saamna', executive president Uddhav Thackeray said that
though his party supported Hazare's anti-corruption movement, it was
strongly opposed to the Jan Lokpal bill.

"It is being intensely debated over who and which offices will come
under the jurisdiction of the Lokpal. But nobody is discussing who
will have jurisdiction over the Lokpal. Lokpal could deal a serious
blow to democracy," Uddhav asserted.

"It should not create a situation whereby we leap from the valley into
the well. Until all our doubts in this regard are clarified, we shall
oppose the bill," Uddhav declared.

Reiterating the party's stance that parliament was "supreme" and that
status should not be compromised in any manner, Uddhav said: "No
institution can be above the Constitution."
