Mumbai, Nov 1 (PTI) Noted social activist Anna Hazare, who is currently in Haridwar, is among those who have proposed the name of Kiran Bedi, India's
first woman IPS officer, for the post of Chief Central
Information Commissioner (CCIC).
"I sent the letter to the PM two days ago. Right to
Information (RTI) activist Magsaysay award winner Arvind
Kejriwal told me he is also sending a similar letter," Hazare
told PTI over phone from Ramdev's ashram at Haridwar.
"I have also written to Congress president Sonia Gandhi,
demanding appointment of a police officer like Bedi," he

been unsatisfactory, he added.Referring to media reports, Hazare said he was not aware if Aamir had also written a similar letter to the PM.
