V. Narayanasamy on Tuesday (april 24,2012) said that "Differences on lokpal bill narrowed down"
"To my mind after discussions withthe political leaders , differences of opinion has been narrowed down to 5 to 6 points" , he said to media.
He reported 197 amendments were moved in the Rajya Sabha when the Bill was tabled last year. “They have since lapsed and now there are 149 amendments which are under the consideration of the government.”
He also said that government is meeting with various political leaders to to bring consensus on major issues and to bring amended lokpal before parliament.
Last month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh convened a meeting with the floor leaders of the Rajya Sabha in a bid to evolve consensus and assured them that the government would come back with an amended Bill.
However, he said that bill is govt's priority but 'things' depend on discussion with other parties and their support.
Editor's view: Last year many positive comments were given from political stage, by both Government and opposition about bringing a strong lokpal, but a drama happened and now just like Women's reservation act lokpal is possibly struck in Rajaya Sabha. We now want work more than conversation and comments by political stage to get the results.
