New Delhi, Aug 26: Government today ruled out replacing its Lokpal Bill with another, saying it will be better to have amendments to the one already introduced.
“We are not thinking of replacing it (official bill) by a new bill because it will take time. It will be better to have amendments. After the Standing Committee recommends the amendments, there will be an opportunity for Parliament to reject it,” Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told a TV talk show.
Saying he was “seriously worried” about Hazare’s health, he appealed to him to end the fast.
He dismissed a suggestion that the government has been boxed into a corner, saying sometimes some actions of the government may not be liked by the people.
“It is nothing new but the current agitation is not good,” he said.
