Hazare meets Sonia, parties differ on PM under Lokpal

Posted by Admin India 6:52 PM New Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare met Congress president Sonia Gandhi Saturday to seek her support for the Jan Lokpal bill ahead of Sunday's all-party meeting as political parties remained divided over including the prime minister and judiciary within the ambit of the proposed anti-graft legislation.

'If a half-baked bill is sent to parliament, what will the parliament discuss?' Hazare said after the meeting with Gandhi at her 10 Janpath residence.

'The prime minister should be brought under the purview of the Lokpal with adequate safeguards,' party general secretary Prakash Karat told reporters.

While suggesting that 'the judiciary too needs to be brought under scrutiny', Karat said he did not favour the higher judiciary within the Lokpal's purview.

'We will go (for the meeting on Sunday) and convey our viewpoint,' he said, adding the BJP wants that the bill should be such that it results in an effective and strong Lokpal.

Advani said the Shiv Sena had conveyed that it will not attend the meeting but the party may change its stance after the NDA's decision.

'The prime minister, judiciary and conduct of MPs in parliament should be out of purview of the Lokpal,' NCP spokesman D.P. Tripathi told IANS. Posted by Admin on 6:52 PM. Filed under India . You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0
