Party spokesperson Rashid Alvi said Congress and its allies got the Bill passed in Lok Sabha where they have got majority and in Rajya Sabha, it was hoping that the BJP, which was championing the cause of Lokpal, would support it but the opposition party did not do so.
"So, they deserve to be shown black flags. It is our party's commitment to get the Bill passed in the Budget Session," he said.
Alvi also wished speedy recovery to Anna Hazare, who has been admitted in a Pune hospital and "prayed for his long life".
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur were today shown black flags by supporters of anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
A handful Hazare's supporters, including women, raised slogans against corruption and in favour of Lokpal as soon as Singh and his wife came out after paying obeisance at the Golden Temple.

MMS pays obeisance to madame Sonia every day as PM and it is because he got the "Appointment letter " from her !!!! This does not have anything to do with democracy!!!! He had been an exceptional PM in the sense he was never elected by the citizens of this poor nation but managed to be in the PM's office through backdoor for two terms!!!! what a shame in a democracy!!!!
Congress is the political party that teachS corruption . There was and is no good leaders in that party . Most of them are parasites . You are the political party that is traying to sell the country .So I BEG MANMOHAN SINGH to resigne from the congress.Otherwise it will be a shame for you because your become a stupid.
The ruling Congress and its allies have ransacked the whole country for 60 years and they deserve more than just black flags !
Congress is now blaming the BJP that they did not support them to pass the Lokpal bill in the RS. As a matter of fact there is no logic in this at all. Can the congress or the government explain why the BJP should have given them support in the RS, when they, from the very beginning did not agree to many points contained therein. Why should they support a weak Lokpal bill, when the government did not want to accomodate any of the modifications tabled by them? For such an important bill there should be consense across the party lines. The congress government was not serious about the bill from the very beginning, as they are afraid more scams may come to light. Now blaming this on the opposition is a cheap propoganda with no base at all.
What the Congress spokesman missed telling us is that in such a case consensus was never reached and why PM should be kept away from the ambit of the Lokpal's jurisdiction has never been explained. To lose face once in a while is a political ballgame and take it as it comes.
Congress although in Power could not pass Lokpal bill. So it should be shown doors .Showing black flag is nothing. BJP is in opposition and Indians have not voted BJP to power and and they dont expect BJP to pass Lokpal bill dream of rahul Gandhi
