Sunday, June 26, 2011: After a not so pleasant experience of engaging with Anna Hazare’s team in drafting of the Lokpal Bill, the government says that there will be no such experiment in the future. HRD minister Kapil Sibal, one of the key members of the joint committee for drafting the Lokpal Bill, also maintains that it cannot be cited as a precedent.
He says the draft of the bill will undergo changes after consultations with political parties and other members of the civil society.
“I don’t say it is a precedent. In the given situation, the government was in, it is a decision that we took with open eyes and I don’t consider it to be a precedent, the government was in a particular situation,” Sibal said.
