FACT: The anti-graft Lokpal Bill is ready to be tabled in the Monsoon Session of Parliament beginning August 1 and will be presented to the Cabinet next week, the Government said on Friday.
"The Lokpal bill is ready. It will be placed before the cabinet next week," Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs V Narayanasamy said. "It will be placed in Parliament and referred to the standing committee. After we get the standing committee report, our government is committed to see the Lokpal bill passed with the support of all political parties." His colleague, Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal, added that the entire nation and the government were ready to take on corruption. "As soon as the Lokpal Bill is passed after going to the parliamentary committee, we will face corruption together and end it," Sibal said. (Ref: IBN Live, July 23, 2011).
OWL WATCH: Sibal Sahab, before Lokpal Bill is being passed by the Parliament, if some of your party leaders face corruption charges together with Suhail Hindusthani at least the investigation may be ended for “Cash-for-vote-scam”. Would you advise the concerned department to “squizz” some of your party colleagues too!!
