New Delhi, Oct 8: Throwing her weight behind the supremacy of parliament, President Pratibha Patil today said the government was sincere about the enactment of the Lokpal Bill.
“Definitely, that is the best way. And it should happen that way. I feel so,” she told reporters yesterday during her return from Switzerland and Austria tour.
She was responding to a question about whether the fight against corruption should be led by parliamentary democracy.
Backed the government’s efforts to tackle corruption, Patil said, “Government of India is taking a lot of measures. The Bill is before the House and the government is very sincere in passing the bill, the Lokpal Bill and bringing it into force,” adding, “There is no doubt about it.” She said a lot of other measures are being taken and gave the example of RTI.
