Mumbai: Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal today demanded that the government should withdraw its "weak" Lokpal Bill and enact the Jan Lokpal Bill to free the country from corruption. "The three-day protest is not aimed at undermining the Parliament, but to appeal to the elected representatives to throw out the government`s version, which is a weak bill that aims only to protect the corrupt," Kejriwal said, addressing a gathering at the MMRDA grounds on the first day of Anna Hazare`s fast.

"Under the government`s version, only 5 per cent of the bureaucrats and 10 per cent of political leaders have been brought under the Lokpal," he said.
