Ajay Maken said there are many "shortcomings" in the Jan Lokpal Bill that has been passed as compared to the draft of the 2014 Jan Lokpal Bill.
New Delhi:
Delhi Congress will hold a week long 'Jan Jagaran Abhiyan (awareness campaign) to "expose" the AAP government in Delhi over the issues of Janlokpal and salary hike for lawmakers and ministers.
The three phased campaign to expose the double-speak of the AAP Government will be launched on December 11 and its subject will be 'Lokpal Cut and MLAs salary up', said Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken.
The AAP government's announcement of enforcing odd-even scheme of private vehicles on Delhi roads "without" thorough preparation, from January 1 is a "diversionary tactic", Mr Maken said
"It is primarily intended to divert attention of the people from taking a close, critical look at the flaws in the Jan Lokpal Bill and the hike in the salaries of the lawmakers and ministers, he said.
"Kejriwal had declared at Raj Ghat after meeting Anna Hazare in 2013 that his MLAs would draw only a honorarium of Rs 25,000 per month, but now the AAP Government has passed a bill to hike the salaries of the MLAs to Rs 2.60 lakh per month," he said.
Mr Maken said there are many "shortcomings" in the Jan Lokpal Bill that has been passed as compared to the draft of the 2014 Jan Lokpal Bill.
The Delhi Congress leaders and workers will assemble at Rajghat from where they will march to Fleet Street and burn the symbolic effigies of AAP's Janlokpal and salary hike of legislators and ministers as a mark protest on December 18, he added.
