  • Joint drafting committee for drafting Lokpal Bill meets tommorrow

    Published on June 19, 2011

    Ahead of tomorrow’s meeting of the joint drafting committee for Lokpal bill, the five members of the Committee from the government side are meeting in New Delhi on Sunday to chalk out their strategy for a consensus with the civil society members over key issues.

    If the two sides fail to settle their differences, a draft bill with points of agreements and disagreements will be prepared.

    The government and civil society are on loggerheads on the issues of inclusion of prime minister, judiciary and conduct of MPs inside Parliament.

    Meanwhile, Justice Santosh Hegde will not be attending the crucial meeting citing prior commitments.

    Monday’s meeting could also spill over to Tuesday if both sides fail to make a headway.
