Singh: stop smear campaign, start clean up

To Prime Minister Manmohan Singh:

We call on you to reign in the smear campaigns being spread across the media, identify those Ministers that are spreading false information, and set an example by removing anyone who is up to dirty tricks from the drafting committee before the next meeting on May 2nd. We want the new era of corruption-free politics in our country to start now.

Singh: stop smear campaign, start clean up
Last week, millions of us were shocked to read that our anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare was backing down on key demands of the Jan Lokpal Bill. But the reports were false. Who spread them? A Minister on the bill drafting committee.

Now the press is full of new allegations against other civil society representatives on the Committee. We knew those in power would do anything to stall and derail the Jan Lokpal Bill. Now they have put their media-spin machine into full-swing to smear our leaders and divide the movement.

Our only hope for a strong Jan Lokpal is to stand up to every dirty tactic the politicians use to kill it. Let's raise a massive call for PM Singh to rein in the smear campaign, identify those Ministers responsible and kick them off the committee by the next meeting on May 2nd. When the petition reaches 100,000, we’ll cover Delhi with mobile billboards and follow PM Singh around until the Lokpal process is cleaned up. Sign now using the form on the right.
