As major political parties sparred on how Lokpal should be debated in Parliament, Parliament failed to meet the Anna's key demand for a discussion on JanLokpal Bill on FRIDAY (august 26 2011). This
failure of discussion on LOKPAL happened due to political war between the Congress and BJP on procedural issues.
Earlier in the day, opposition members gave notices for a discussion on the Lokpal issue under a Rule(Rule 184) that entails voting while Congress members wanted it under a Rule(Rule 193) that does not provide for voting.
Opposition BJP foiled the ruling side's attempt to get it discussed without voting that made the government to change its strategy to go for a debate in a different form. So the matter is expected to come up on Saturday in a different form.
So Anna refused to end his 11-day hunger strike demanding in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that Parliament pass a resolution, accepting three of his key demands -- setting up Lokayuktas in States, covering entire bureaucracy and citizens charter.
