New Delhi:
A meeting of the joint drafting committee on the anti-corruption
Lokpal Bill held here Monday decided to speed up consultations to
keep the deadline of June 30, Human Resource Development (HRD)
Minister Kapil Sibal said.
Sibal told reporters after the three-hour meeting that the draft
Lokpal Bill would be ready for introduction in the monsoon session
of parliament as announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He
said there was agreement on several basic subjects of the Bill
during the discussions.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presided over the meeting.
Shanti Bhushan, co-chairman of the committee representing civil
society, had recently expressed his concern about the slow
progress in the work of the joint drafting committee for the bill,
aimed at giving more powers to the ombudsman to tackle corruption
in public life.
The 10-member committee comprises five ministers and five
representatives of the civil society.
