Photo: PTIKhajuraho: Social activist Anna Hazare has alleged that the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre weakened the anti-corruption Lokpal Act. “Former prime minister Manmohan Singh rarely speaks, but he had also weakened the Lokpal law (when it was framed). “As per the original law, it was mandatory for (government official’s) family members to submit their property details,” Hazare said. Hazare, who recently announced an agitation in the national capital on the issues of Lokpal and farmers’ problems on 23 March, said he had written several letters to prime minister Modi on various issues, but never received any reply.
