Abhishek Singhvi should be "hanged if found guilty": Anna Hazare

Abhishek Singhvi should be 'hanged if found guilty': Anna Hazare
Beed (Maharashtra): Anna Hazare said on Friday that Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi should be hanged if found "guilty" in connection with the controversial CD purportedly showing him in a compromising position with a woman.

"Singhvi should be hanged if found guilty," Mr Hazare said replying to a reporter's question here this evening.

Mr Hazare is currently touring Maharashtra to campaign for a stronger Lokayukta Act in the state.

Mr Singhvi quit as Congress spokesperson after the scandal broke out, but maintained that the CD was fake.

Mr Hazare also said if a strong Lokpal comes into existence, corrupt officers would go to jail.

Government officers should be made to disclose their assets on a government website, he added.
