Congress spokesman and Lok Sabha MP Manish Tiwari on Wednesday opted out of the Standing Committee that is reviewing the Lokpal Bill. He said, “I support a strong and effective Lokpal Bill, but do not want any controversy to cast a shadow on the deliberations of this important bill. So, I have decided to recuse myself from the standing committee on Department of Law and Justice.”
The Congress has decided to continue Abhishek Manu Singhavi as the Chairman. According to sources some more members may also leave the Committee to facilitate smooth interactions.
Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh may not be in the Committee which expires its term on August,31. Others whose names are taking round to be excluded from the Committee are RJD supremo Laloo Prasad Yadav and SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The next meeting of the panel is scheduled for September 7.
Meanwhile, social activists Aruan Roy and JP Narayan are to supposed to appear before the Committee on September, 7 to present their views on Lokpal Bill. The CBI and CVC directors are also likely to present themselves before the Committee, possibly, to oppose the proposal of sending these bodies under the Lokpal Bill.
