Little public tolerance in state of affairs: PM

Corruption is a challenge and we must tackle it boldly, said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday in New Delhi.

He went on to say that there was "little public tolerance now for prevailing state of affairs. People expect swift and exemplary action and rightly so."

Growing feeling in people that laws, systems and procedures are not effective in dealing with corruption, he said.

Government hopes to introduce Lokpal Bill in monsoon session of Parliament, PM added.
