New Delhi, Sep 26 - India Rejuvenation Initiative (IRI), an organisation fighting against dishonesty in workplace has decided to launch a public movement against corruption and lack of accountability at the top.
Said ex-director general of Punjab Police and IRI member, J.F. Ribeiro: 'The IRI has decided to mobilise public opinion for the purpose of urging the government to set up a mechanism to verify the returns of assets (moveable and immoveable) filed by all the public servants (both political and bureaucratic) who occupied influential positions in the country.'
He suggested that returns of assets of all those who occupied or are occupying high public offices in government, should be taken up for verification on a fast track.
The former top cop also emphasised upon the need for setting up of an Integrity Commission at the national level.
Among other crusaders involved with IRI are former Air Chief Marshal S. Krishnaswamy, former comptroller and auditor general of India S.K. Shunglu, former chief election commissioner J.M. Lyngdoh and former chief justice of India R.C. Lahoti.
