Under attack from social activist and anti-graft crusader Mr Anna Hazare, the Union Agriculture Minister, Mr Sharad Pawar, today quit the Group of Ministers (GoM) on corruption, saying he does not want to be “associated” with the panel anymore.
Mr Pawar, the NCP supremo, said that he has written a letter to the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, informing him that he does not want to remain with the Ministerial panel.
The panel is headed by the Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee. “I have told Prime Minister in writing about quitting the GoM on corruption. I have informed him that I don't want to remain anymore with the panel. I don't want to be associated with it.
The chapter is closed from my side,” Mr Pawar told PTI tonight.
