New Delhi: Minutes after Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal announced that the Parliament would debate on Jan Lokpal on Saturday, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, on Friday claimed the government actually wanted to hold the debate on Monday.

According to Swaraj, Bansal told the BJP that the government has not made up its mind on the issue.

Slamming the government for its casual attitude, the government informed the BJP at 2:10 pm about the Lokpal debate at 2:30 pm.

Backing Jan Lokpal Bill with amendments, the BJP wants debate under rules for voting.

Lokpal must have powers to punish redressal mechanism violators, the BJP said, adding all central govt employees should be covered under Lokpal.

The BJP has also underlined the need for independent selection of the nine members of the Lokpal.

dear rahul we are very hurt and feel very sorry about the present scenario when one of the minister of your party gives a public statement that there is rs 0 loss for the country, when actually there was a loss of 70000 crore rupees(hard earned money by indians)and tried to hide the facts from his own country people, that minister is being appreciated by your party by giving responsibility to tackle issue on lokpal bill(which is a kind of anti corruption bill).we all doubt how responsibly and fairly he was working with civil society people. and interestingly such kind of persons does not seems a threat to democracy to you but a gandhi an who is trying to fight against corruption. it seems that in our country a person who fights against corruption is bigger threat to country and more answerable to the system then the person actually does it.

it is correct, congress is casual in prevention of corruption, but very serious in its promotion, that is why they don`t see any scam even after reported by cag. thanks to supreme court, raja and others are in jail, otherwise they must be enjoying holidays abroad. still mrs.sheila dixit enjoying, because as usual congress does not find any fault in her despite sunglu and cag report. it is the great party of india.

regret that the govt. is not keen in solving the issue of corruption but want to save their own corrupt ministers. they are ready to kill the saint sh. anna hazare but do not want to save aam admi from the clutches of corruption.
