PM Out Of Govt Draft On Lokpal, Joint Panel Winds Up In Disagreement

The civil society and the government today failed to arrive at a common draft on Lokpal Bill over which there were major differences as the official version excluded the Prime Minister from its purview.

Maintaining that they “agreed to disagree”, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters after an hour-long meeting that differences could not be resolved on around eight key issues.

A draft bill, which could be a combination of views of both the sides or separate, will be taken up by the Union Cabinet before introduction in Parliament during the Monsoon Session.
