Right To Information (RTI) crusader and veteran social activist Anna Hazare's key aide Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said the media needed to refocus on the Lokpal Bill rather than on allegations and mudslinging incidents.

Kejriwal said it was imperative that everyone, including the media, worked towards the common goal of bringing a strong Lokpal Bill.

"Its important that the media gets back on track and works towards the target. These allegations and counter allegations are useless and would yield nothing. We would want that more discussion on the Lokpal Bill takes place," he added.

Meanwhile, the core committee on Jan Lokpal Bill is meeting at Ralegan Siddhi after being embroiled in a slew of controversies.

Former IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi was accused of inflating travel bills, while Arvind Kejriwal reluctantly returned over Rs. nine lakh in dues to settle the issue of his resignation from the IRS.

Another team Anna member and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan was embroiled in a CD row where a voice resembling him claims that a judge could be bribed. Later, Bhushan was assaulted by activists who barged into his office, reportedly annoyed by his stance on disputed Kashmir territory.

Hazare and his aides have stepped up pressure on the ruling Congress Party to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill during the upcoming Winter Session of the Parliament.

The anti-graft legislation is seen as a weapon to root out corruption and nepotism from the government machinery and public life.he proposed Bill envisages the setting up of a national anti-corruption watchdog to check financial mismanagement and corrupt practices that have deeply entrenched themselves in several democratic and civic institutions of India.
