Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075
Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal arrive for a press conference on Lokpal Bill in New Delhi on Tuesday - PTI.
Seeking to widen consultations, the Centre on Tuesday wrote to all Chief Ministers and leaders of political parties eliciting their views on issues including whether to bring the Prime Minister under Lokpal.
A day after civil society activists on the Joint Drafting Committee on the Bill threatened to take to streets, Home Minister P. Chidambaram and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal addressed a press conference to make it clear that the government was committed to bringing a Bill in the Monsoon session of Parliament.
The government is also trying to avert a situation like the one that evolved during the indefinite fast by Anna Hazare last month with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and top Ministry officials talking to Baba Ramdev to persuade him not to go ahead with his proposed indefinite fast from June 4.
I never, personally, believed that another shoddy Lok Pal should be hurried for the upcoming monsoon session.
It is essential that it should have under its ambit all the high office of Indian State, without which it can never gain credibility of the civil society.
Consensus, among all stake-holders, is definitely is required for this Bill to pass in Parliament and that it wouldn't be challenged in Courts of Law, against its legality.
