- Lokpal committee meets in New Delhi - AP.
Sharp differences came to the surface at a meeting of the drafting committee for Lokpal bill today with the government strongly opposing proposals for inclusion of Prime Minister, higher judiciary and acts MPs inside Parliament under its purview.
Anna Hazare, one of the members of the committee, who is spearheading the campaign for a strong and effective Lokpal bill, said that he was not hopeful of the government meeting its deadline of June 30 for preparing the bill.
At the meeting held under the Chairmanship of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, contentious issues came up for discussion in the committee for the first time.
It seems Late Smt. Indira Gandhi was more liberal; she only wanted the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of Lok Sabha and the P.M. to be exempt from the then proposed Lok Pal bill. Under the able leadership of Dr. Manmohan Singh and / or that of his 'Remote Control' even MP would be exempted from the purview of the Lok Pal Act.
As I said, previously, another mass-movement needs to be undertaken, till we put some sense into the powers-that-be, that this time around, we mean business!
