the Law Minister and member of the drafting committee Mr Veerappa Moily said that the draft of the Bill would be prepared by 30th of June.
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh Thursday said that the bill will be introduced in the monsoon session of Parliament. The representatives of social activists and ruling party members have been trading charges over each other on the issue in the wake of a latest CD controversy.
Talking to media here Moily emphasized that instead of getting emotional, the focus should be on the preparation of the draft legislation. The ten member joint drafting panel on the Lokpal bill was constituted on ninth of this month after protests by the people led by social activist Anna Hazare.
Senior Congress leader and Chairman of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has said that the working of Lokpal Bill drafting panel will not be affected by controversies over some members. Following the meeting of Congress core committee in New Delhi this evening, Mr. Mukherjee assured that the Committee’s government members will work with Anna Hazare and colleagues to draft a strong Lokpal bill.
