Team Anna Accuses Govt Of Reducing Lokpal To Empty Tin Box

Accusing the government of reducing the proposed Lokpal to an “empty tin box with no powers”, Team Anna today said they were surprised at the move to exclude Citizen’s Charter and lower bureaucracy from the ambit of the ombudsman, contrary to a Parliament resolution.

“The government proposes to remove CBI, judiciary, citizen charter, whistle blower protection, Group C and Group D employees and CBI from Lokpal jurisdiction. Wouldn’t that reduce Lokpal to an empty tin box with no powers and functions?” a Team Anna statement said.
