"I am pained by Anna Hazareji's fast unto death. The issues he has raised are of grave public concern. There can be no two views on the urgent necessity of combating graft and corruption in public life. I believe that the laws in these matters must be effective and must deliver the desired results. I am sure that Anna Hazreji's views will receive the government's full attention as we move forward to fight the menace. I appeal to Annaji to give up his fast," Sonia said.
Hazare is on a fast at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the issue of Lokpal Bill.
Earlier, even after a series of talks held with the government, Hazare refused to relent, announcing that he would continue with his indefinite fast till the Jan Lokpal bill becomes a reality.
Addressing a public gathering, Hazare said that the government's reluctance in accepting the draft bill proposed by the civil society indicated that it was scared of being held accountable by the public.
