Today on 4th August in parliament the most desired but controversial draft of Lokpal (Jokpal) has tabled for discussion. Even though there were many points where members of civil-society (Anna Hazare team) are not agree but still government is bringing their own lokpal bill. I think I can define lokpal something like :
"lokpal bill, which is made by government, with the help of politicians, to help politicians and to secure politicians".
There are many issue on which lots of oppositions are going on. Against which Anna Hazare is going to start protest from 16th august onwards. Followings are points which will give more insights on the difference of opinions between government and civil society. [courtesy by : NDTV News]
Key issues on which government and civil society members differ:
On the question of whether the PM should be brought under the Lokpal, Team Anna wants the PM covered while the government's bill says he can be prosecuted only after he demits office.
Team Anna wants the Chief Justice of India to be under the Lokpal, but the government says it will bring a separate judicial accountability bill
Team Anna says the conduct of MPs in Parliament should be brought under Lokpal, but the government says this will need constitutional amendment
Team Anna also wants the CBI and CVC merged with the Lokpal, but the government bill says Lokpal will have independent prosecution wing and judicial powers
Team Anna wants more judges, administrators, CAG and CVC in the selection panel for Lokpal but the government wants more politicians
While Team Anna wants the entire bureaucracy to be included under the Lokpal, the government wants only the higher bureaucracy.
