New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS): Team Anna leader Kiran Bedi Friday criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for what she said was his "disappointing role" in the campaign against corruption.

Participating in a discussion on Anna Hazare's fast against corruption, organised here by Observer Research Foundation, Bedi said Gandhi's role was the "biggest loss of faith".

Hazare fasted for 12 days in support of a strong anti-corruption legislation -- initially in the Tihar Jail and then at the Ramlila ground.

A former police officer, Bedi urged the Bar Council of India to take up the issue of judicial and court corruption.

She strongly defended the call of Hazare to audit of the performance of MPs vis-a-vis the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Explaining the chronology of the Hazare-led movement, Bedi said all this could have been avoided if the government had taken decisive steps against corruption after the Commonwealth Games and when the 2G scam broke out.

    Claimed often during the Ramlila Maidan protests, about her impeccable career and derives all her backing on this basis. Never did she speak about the mishaps or misdemeanors during her professional career. Following are facts from few questions that Karan Thapar wanted to ask her at the end of her career in 2007. She accepted and then refused to turn up, and hence Mr. Thapar had no choice but to share these facts with the public. Kiran Bedi never received the Indian Police Medal for Meritorious Service nor the President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service. The fact contradicts her claim on an exceptional career, unlike most.

    Bedi failed complete her tenure four times during her career, twice she even left her post without permission for intricate reasons, originated by her own deeds. She didn't complete her tenure as Superintendent of Police in Goa, DIG (Range) in Mizoram, Inspector General (Prisons) Tihar Jail and Inspector General of Police in Chandigarh. The posts that she left without permission were Goa, in 1983, and Mizoram, in 1992.

    Governor of Mizoram issued an official letter of displeasure against her during her tenure there as the DIG. The letter was issued in context of her leaking information to the press. An early lesson into become a media darling it seems.

    During her Chandigarh tenure, a letter was received from the administrator by the home ministry. Requesting her removal, as her presence was not in favor of public interest.
