The Lok Satta plans to take a delegation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to demand a comprehensive amendment to the Prevention of Corruption Act.
In a press release, Lok Satta president Jayaprakash Narayan said growing corruption in India has made it a laughing stock in the comity of nations. The date of the trip and the members in the delegation have not been decided yet.
India cannot accomplish its dream of becoming a super power by ignoring the omnipresent and omnipotent corruption.
The immediate provocation for the Lok Satta initiative is the resignation by Justice Santosh Hegde as Karnataka Lokayukta protesting the Karnataka Governments failure to honour its recommendations.
