After an acrimonious meeting last week, the joint drafting committee on Lokpal Bill on Monday agreed on most of the issues but new areas of disagreement like the manner of selection and removal of the ombudsman came up adding to persisting differences on contentious aspects.
Both the government side and the Anna Hazare team said the three-hour-long meeting was held in a “very cordial atmosphere” but differed on the extent of its success.
The committee will meet tomorrow for the last time during which both the sides will exchange their drafts on which they will comment upon.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters that 80 to 85 per cent issues were resolved while activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan differed on this percentage but contended that there was consensus on majority of the issues.
“On a range of issues, there is a broad agreement. It is a major step forward. Both sides feel we should move towards a consensus to formulate a draft where difficult issues of divergence are spelt out when it goes to political parties sometime in July,” Mr. Sibal said.
Yes, better be consensus before the Political parties consider the draft, as anyway we cannot rule out difference of opinion among all the political parties, when, once again, a consensus needs to be arrived before it is finally introduced in Parliament.
