The Congress has begun to quote from the Justice P B Sawant report submitted to the Maharashtra [ Images ] government in 2005 where it investigates charges of corruption leveled against the social activist and a number of his trusts. He reportedly has over a dozen trusts with Justice Sawant investigating just a couple of them. In fact, when the local government tried to take action on the basis of Sawant's report, it was found that there was some 'technical error.' Hazare has said about this report that not once but four times he has told government to take action on basis of it. The 2005 report submitted to the Maharashtra government by Justice PB Sawant suggests serious corruption charges against anti-graft activist Anna Hazare. The last chapter in the report ( from pages 256 to 372 ) deals only with Anna Hazare and comes to some interesting conclusions. The commission set up in 2003 "to probe into the allegations of corrupt practices and maladministration into matters" of several state ministers and social activist Anna Hazare clearly indicts the Magsaysay awardee. The report submitted on February 23, 2005, concludes: "The expenditure of Rs 2.20 lacs from the funds of the Hind Swaraj Trust for the birthday celebrations of Shri Hajare was clearly illegal and amounted to a corrupt practice." Sant Yadavbaba Shikshan Prasarak Mandal, a trust with which Hazare is associated since its inception in 1980, "committed illegalities" in its audits, according to Justice Sawant. The report says, "There is no doubt that the trust, and therefore, the trustees of the trust committed illegalities". According to Justice Sawant report, Ganpatrao Avati, a close associate of Hazare, had asked for an "amount of Rs 25,000 to process" an application. It thus infers "even those activists who were nearer to Shri Hazare were indulging in corruption and demanding money from the supplicants who came for relief from Shri Hazare". According to this report, when Anna Hazare was asked about this, he said that when he had asked Avati about this allegation, the latter (Avati) had denied it. The report suggests several other charges of illegality, corruption and maladministration. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/how-congress-plans-to-suppress-anna-and-his-te am/20110420.htm idi ipudu bayataki tisaru kani , report is from 2005..
