Govt wants broad national consensus on Lokpal Bill: Manmohan

Time and Again...Manmohan proves he is one of best PM's India as ever see....Also he is like the Indian Cricket Team....when forced against the WALL....He comes up with a superb innings...just like that as given below....


NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government is committed to the enactment of a strong and effective anti-corruption Lokpal Bill.

The Prime Minister said the government would like a broad national consensus to emerge on the issue.

"The government is in favour of a strong and effective Lokpal Bill. There is a lot of scope of give and take. There is a dynamics in the legislative process and it takes time for a bill to be passed. We must all work together to push forward the case of a strong and effective Lokpal," the Prime Minister said.

"We must remove all the obstacles that come by our way. I do not want to say anything to controvert anyone saying anything on the bill," he added.

The PM's comment comes after the central government cleared its stand over the implementation of the Lokpal Bill and urged social activist Anna Hazare to come forward to discuss contents of his 'Jan Lokpal Bill' to resolve the contentious issue.

The government had first imprisoned Hazare in New Delhi's Tihar Jail on August 16, then ordered his release, and finally, when he refused to leave jail, granted him permission to stage his fast for 15 days at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi.

Law minister Salman Khurshid had earlier suggested that Team Anna should discuss their version of the Lokpal Bill with the government panel and both together should thereafter make the changes in it.

"The private members bill is a system under which any member could bring his suggestion in front of the Parliament. If it would get votes, then that suggestion would become law," Khurshid had said.

"But it happens very rarely because when a discussion takes place over the private member's bill, then the ministers give assurance that they would include the suggestions in their law to address their fear," he had added.
