Lokpal in parliament

Lokpal bill with constructional status was introduced  Lok Sabha today.  The Bill will be actually debated on December 27 after which it will be put to a vote. 
Different sides including  BJP, Team, and Lalu Prasad Yadav have all  rejected it for different reasons.
Looking at small time period  to debate in parliament, different MP's have said that the Bill must not be rushed through to satisfy the deadline or demands of Anna.

--THIS VERSION OF LOKPAL FACED FOLLOWING OBJECTIONS IN PARLIMENT TODAY (
Dec 22)--
  • Team Anna taunting the government said that government's old Lokpal was better that this new one Or government had worsen the lokpal in the time given to them.
  • Hazere objects to the fact that the Lokpal Bill does not hand over administrative control of the CBI to the new ombudsman or Lokpal. Without this, his group says, the CBI will continue to be influenced in its investigations by the government.
  • Lalu also opposed for his own regions
     Last night, the government had removed the term 'minorities' where the Bill asks for a 50 per cent quota for the Lokpal. That's because the Constitution does not allow for reservation on the grounds of religion. But after Lalu led a raucous protest over this in the morning, the Lok Sabha was adjourned for a few hours. So Government decided  he minority quota would be reinstated through a correction in the language of the Bill
  •  Senior leader Sushma Swaraj said, "The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that reservation cannot cross 50 per cent. This Bill sets apart a quota for 'not less than 50 per cent.' There are nine members - so it suggests reservation for five members. So if we go with this Bill, it will be struck down in seconds as patently unconstitutional. This language is not acceptable. Take back the Bill."
    Mr Mukherjee agreed that the quota is likely to be challenged in court, but said the government wants the judiciary to settle the matter. 
  • Ms Swaraj also said that the Bill violates the federal principles of the constitution by enforcing states to adopt it and create Lokayuktas or anti-corruption agencies. "This infringes upon the rights and dignity of states," she said.
  • Lalu also made a lengthy speech. He said
     "Why are we letting a team of four people who include a retired bureaucrat, two retired lawyers, and a social activist dictate terms to Parliament? The country should be run by authority, not agitation"
  •  Lalu objected to the inclusion of the Prime Minister among the offices that the Lokpal can investigate. "Hundreds of people will file politically-motivated cases, he said. What face will we show abroad if our leader travels there and he is being investigated at home?" He urged the government to ignore Anna's fast. "Let him look after his own health," he said. "Take back this Bill, send it to a standing committee, fix it and then convince us to pass it," he said.
  • Gurudas Das Gupta of the Left was also unflinching in his criticism of Anna, describing him as "a man who pretends to be another father of the nation." He said, "There is no single crusader against corruption. Please don't be afraid of another hunger strike."
  • Though this is the argument that the government has so often made, Mr Mukherjee had to defend the need to handle the Bill with urgency. He stressed that legislation can only be done in the House, not in agitations or on the street. But he also made the point that in August, both Houses of Parliament had appealed to Anna to end a 12-day fast by promising to consider his vision of the Lokpal Bill.
Editor's View: Well bill of  course lacks power, and it is clear from the reports and discussions, but more surprising element is that some MP's are lacking brain and maturity! Lalu Ji made a scam of Rs 950 crore and still is in parliament to present his views.
There are many MP's and incidents which erased our faith towards parliment. Cash for vote for example.After all this Image of parliment and government is not made by Team Anna , its a self made image!
 
I demand government to perform an election with all new parties and to re-setup parliament with those new parties
then I guarantee that no one will ask question on or 'dictate' parliament's procedure
