As the Indian government comes under pressure from a massive nationwide movement against corruption,it conceded to some demands of a veteran social activist who is on a hunger strike to demand a tough new anti-corruption law. But his campaign against graft continues as protestors say they will not settle for half-way measures by thegovernment.On the third day of a hunger strike by 72-year-old activist Anna Hazare, the government sounded a conciliatory note as his anti-corruption crusade snowballed into a nationwide movement.Law Minister Kapil Sibal said that the government will agree to fifty per cent representation by citizens on a joint committee which will be established to draw up new anti-corruption legislation. This was one of the major demands put forth by Hazare."Our attempt is all of us are together. We want to deal with corruption, we want to get rid of corruption, we want civil society to participate in this effort, we have no problems with that, and we want Anna Hazare to give up his fast," said Sibal.Despite the partial victory, the civil activist did not heed the government’s call to end his campaign, as his supporters pressed the government to name him to head the committee which will draft the new bill. The government has not agreed to this demand.
