As Anna Hazare's fast entered the 10th day on Thursday, Indian Overseas Congress (IOC), an organisation representing the NRIs, on Thursday said the government must implement the Jan Lokpal Bill prepared by Team Anna.
"There are 11 million NRIs spread across the globe, with 3.5 million being from Punjab alone. The feeling among a large number of NRIs is that the Anna issue was mismanaged by the Government," IOC President Vikram Bajwa told reporters here.
"The Bill, as proposed by Team Anna, should be adopted and passed in Parliament without any further delay," said Bajwa, who today forwarded his resignation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, expressing his desire to join hands with the common people on the corruption issue.
