Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal arrive for a press conference on Lokpal Bill in New Delhi on Tuesday.
Mukherjee writes to Chief Ministers seeking their suggestions
Even as Joint Drafting Committee chairman and Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee initiated wider consultations, the UPA government on Tuesday reiterated its resolve to present an effective Lokpal Bill during the monsoon session of Parliament.
Union Ministers P. Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal, both government members on the JDC, said none should suspect the intentions of the government and emphasised that irrespective of what others (some civil society members on the committee) said or did the panel would move on and culminate with the formulation of a strong Lokpal Bill.
Responding to questions on the warning issued by two civil society members of quitting the JDC if the contentious issues were not resolved, the Ministers made it clear that they did not intend to join issue with them and underlined their respect for them.
Both the Government and the Civil Society leadership are hurrying this vital Constitutional Instrument, for the reasons best known to them, as if there is no Tomorrow.
After having waited for 40 long years, we can as well wait for another year, for a robust Lok Pal Act., in place, that encompasses all the high political functionaries under the Constitution.
