Haveri, Aug 22: Former Prime Minister of the country and JD(S) supremo, H D Deve Gowda, is not disheartened by the charges levelled against him, or the mention of his son, H D Kumaraswamy’s name in the Lokayukta report on illegal mining.
Speaking to reporters here during his visit on Sunday August 21, he expressed his support to the crusade launched by Anna Hazare. He added that a national level agitation under the leadership of nine regional parties would be launched in support of Hazare on August 23.
“I have full support for anyone who fights against corruption. There is a need for everyone to lend their hand to erase corruption from our country. The dharna being undertaken on August 23 all over the nation will pass off peacefully,” he explained.
Deve Gowda added that he supports Anna’s demand for introduction of Lokpal Bill in the format suggested by Anna Hazare group without any ammendments. He also asked the Prime Minister to convene a special session of the parliament for moving the bill.
