 PRESS RELEASE:

            The next meeting of the Action Committee Against Corruption in India (ACACI) will be held in New Delhi on November 3^rd, 2011 to discuss the proposals prepared by Committee members on how civil society can  recover the amounts in the illegal accounts of politicians, businessmen and others in secret banking abroad and other topics connected matters concerning eradication of corruption from India.

  I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Abhishek Joshi, a prominent social activist, as the Member-Secretary of the ACACI.  Eminent Income Tax lawyer and renowned Chartered Accountant Mr. K. Sampath  Iyengar has accepted to be the eighth member of the Committee.  This Committee  will now open branches in various States of India, as well as in 14 other cities abroad to co-ordinate the activities of international organizations.

            The ACACI was formed in the meeting convened by me in Chennai on October 14, 2011 to take effective action against corrupt activities within the present legal framework.  The Anna Hazare movement focuses on bringing new laws  while the  Baba Ramdev’s movement  is focused  on mobilizing the masses  to revolt against corruption. The Committee supports both these movements and will work in harmony with these two movements.
