Under attack from social activist Anna Hazare, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Wednesday quit the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Lokpal bill.

"Sharad Pawar has given resignation from the committee. He should give his resignation from the Ministry also. It does not affect us," said Hazare.

Pawar had earlier in the day said he would be happy to be relieved from all ministerial panels, including that on corruption.

"I will be happy if you relieve me from all GoMs, including that GoM (on corruption)," Pawar said while replying to a query whether he was disturbed by Hazare's comments that the minister should not be part of the GoM on Corruption.

Hazare had said, "A minister like Sharad Pawar, who is known for possessing large amounts of land in Maharashtra, is heading a committee that will draft the Bill!"

On an indefinite fast here since Tuesday, Hazare is pressing for enactment of the Lok Pal Bill with stringent measures against corruption.

The seventy-two-year old social activist, supported by eminent persons, including Kiran Bedi, has been demanding that the drafting committee for the Lok Pal Bill to tackle corruption should include members of civil society.

The ministerial panel on corruption is headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and comprises Home Minister P Chidambaram, Defence Minister A K Antony, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, Law Minister Veerappa Moily, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, Chemicals and Fertiliser Minister M K Alagiri and Telecommunications Minister Kapil Sibal.
