Karnataka Lokayukta, Mr Santosh Hegde, on Thursday said he was reconsidering his decision to be on the joint drafting committee on Lokpal Bill, apparently upset over the vilification campaign against the anti-graft panel.
“I will be first discussing the issue with my colleagues and will take a decision based on it”, Mr Hegde, who had reluctantly agreed to be on the Lokpal committee due to pending work, told PTI.
The former Supreme Court Judge, known for his vigorous campaign against corruption, said the current vilification campaign had put him off.
