VIDEO CONFERENCE of Arvind Khegrival


Team Anna is upset with lokpal draft by standing committee due to following reasons

• They are unhappy because Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the lower bureaucracy was kept out of lokpal's ambit. "The draft, as I am being told, provides for the CBI to be kept under government control. If the CBI is under government control, then the Lokpal will remain an empty tin box," Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal told reporters 
• For not including the lower bureaucracy in the ambit of the Lokpal. 
  Khegrival said that most corruption around common man is done by lower bureaucracy so how such corruption can be dealt without bringing lower bureaucracy under lokpal
• Khegrival  insisted that if small NGOs are brought under lokpal then  all government funded NGOs should also be brought under the Lokpal as massive corruption was prevalent in NGOs. 

Claiming that the draft report on Lokpal Bill by Parliamentary Standing Committee is a "betrayal", Anna Hazare threatened to go on anindefinite fast in Delhi from December 27 if a strong anti- graft law is not passed in the Winter Session of Parliament. 
Hazare, who also announced that he will sit on a one-day fast in Delhi's Jantar Mantar on December 11 on the issue, sought to put Congress on notice saying he will tour the five poll-bound states and tell electorate how the government was betraying them on the issue. 


The Parliamentary Standing Committee on law and justice examining the Lokpal bill is expected to finalise its report Nov 30-Dec 1 and submit its recommendations to parliament in the first week of December.
