There is a need to give severe punishment to those who are into corruption. Lokpal Bill should provide an opportunity to recover money from the corrupt officials.”
“As corruption is on rise in the country, the government should withdraw the currency with the face value of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. Measures should be taken to get back the black money which has been deposited in the Swiss banks by our politicians,” he added.
