New Delhi: Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare and the four other civil society members on the Lokpal panel will be declaring their assets and liabilities on Friday.

The civil society members of the joint drafting committee on Lokpal Bill including Anna Hazare will declare their assets and liabilities - a day before the panel will sit for the first time.

The four other civil society members include former law minister Shanti Bhushan, his son Supreme Court Advocate Prashant Bhushan, Karnataka Lokayukta Santosh Hegde and RTI Activist Arvind Kejriwal.

"They will be meeting with fellow campaigners to discuss issues pertaining to the Joint Draft Committee of Jan Lokpal bill," the spokesperson for the 'India Against Corruption', which spearheaded the campaign, said.

The group also said it has received a total donation of Rs 82,87,668. "We have issued receipts to all the donors and have maintained a record of their details. We issued receipts on account of Public Cause Research Foundation (PCRF) which is acting as secretariat for the campaign," the spokesperson said.

A statement from the group also said that social activist Mallika Sarabhai has reaffirmed her faith in the campaign. Sarabhai had earlier expressed reservation at Hazare's praise for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and said she would dissociate with the campaign if he did not clarify his stand on the BJP leader.
