Government have decided to have a discussion in the Lok Sabha on friday on the Jan Lokpal Bill.
As per sources
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal also held a meeting with Mr. Mukherjee on the issue of discussions.
As per sources
- discussion will take place on the Bill in the shape of a “document” and its salient features after which the records of the debate are expected to be sent to the Parliamentary Standing Committee examining the Lokpal Bill.
- It was, however, not clear immediately whether the debate would be held under Rule 193 or Rule 184, which entails voting.
- The wording of such a motion could ask for a discussion on the Jan Lokpal and other Bills like the one prepared by Ms. Roy along with the government version of the Bill, and the paper presented by Jaiprakash Narayan so that these be sent to the Standing Committee for its consideration for making a strong Lokpal Bill, sources said.
- During the discussion, members will be free to speak on Aruna Roy’s version of Lokpal Bill along with the Jan Lokpal and government's Lokpal draft etc. In view of the discussion, Parliament will have a sitting on Saturday, the sources said.
The meeting took place soon after Mr. Hazare reacted to Parliament’s appeal to end his fast and demanded that it discuss from Friday three key issues on Jan Lokpal and create an agreement first.
