Senior political analyst and journalist Sukumar Muralidharan comments on the Jan Lok Pal Bill prepared by civil society activists who have vowed to take on official malfeasance in these times of "high corruption".

It is not surprising when the individuals fighting against corruption are subjected to a campaign of slander and vilification. Obviously, those who deal with filth, would use it to try and malign others. The message is clear – if you want to fight corruption, the corrupt will try and drag you down to their level.
