No deadline can be given for Lokpal report: Singhvi

The Parliamentary Committee looking into the Lokpal Bill may not be able to finish its work before the Winter Session of Parliament, which begins in the second half of next month, as it lost valuable one month’s time due to delay in its re-constitution.

An indication to this was given by Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law and Justice, Personnel and Public Grievances chairperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi who said that no deadline or timeline can be given for submission of report. “We are trying, but no commitment has been made to submit the report before Parliament session.”

 Singhvi denied media reports that he was holding panel meetings late in the evening and on Saturday for his convenience which was causing a lot of inconvenience to members and claimed that many members who are also part of JPC and PAC prefer evening timings and Saturdays for the Lokpal panel's meeting.
