Lok Satta campaign against corruption

Lok Satta Party president Jayaprakash Narayan on Friday remitted one rupee by money order to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh marking the launch of a national campaign against corruption. A number of students and youth followed Narayan by either sending money orders or mailing postcards to the Prime Minister demanding that the government cancel 2-G spectrum licences, recover the Rs 1,76,000 crore the nation has lost and constitute an independent anti-corruption commission. Narayan stated in a release that his party had fallen back on money orders and post cards to enable even the poor to pour out their anguish over the worst instance of corruption indulged in by the Telecom Ministry, and seek recovery of the money lost and punishment of the guilty.
