Issues of conflict
- Many of the parties like BJP, CPM and Trinamool are opposing Chapter 3 from lokpal which is imposing Center's Lokayukta bill on states saying that Lokayukta bill prepared by states will go in vein if center's Lokayukta bill is imposed on them. |But this opposition has almost shadowed various poor facts about State Lokayuktas Bills (SEE here toothless condition of present lokayukta made by states )|
- The sources also confirmed that there were differences between the ruling and Opposition MPs on the committee that would select the lokpal.
Government's Bill has a five-member collegium consisting of the prime minister, the Speaker, the Opposition leader, the chief justice, or a Supreme Court judge nominated by Chief Justice, and an eminent jurist nominated by the President.
"Some members felt there was too much reliance on the judiciary in the matter of selecting the lokpal and lokayukta, with eminent jurists outnumbering other sections of public life," the member said.
Points of Agreement
- Two clauses that deals with the procedure for the removal of the lokpal were agreed upon. "Both government and Opposition agreed that clause one and three of the bill should be deleted wherein any citizen could petition the President for removal of the lokpal.
Instead, the procedure for the removal would be the same as that of an impeachment of a judge. That is, 100 members of Parliament have to petition the President for removal," the source said.
