New Delhi: Team Anna is reaching out to the members of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Lokpal Bill to ensure that their concerns are addressed in the recommendations they will be sending.

Activist Arvind Kejriwal has held meetings with LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, Shailendra Kumar and S Semmalai among others in the past few days.

Sources said Kejriwal has been urging the members for including their demand of putting CBI's anti-corruption wing as well as all government employees under the ambit of Lokpal.

"Without CBI, Lokpal would be a post office. It will forward complaints to CBI for investigations and forward CBI's report to court. Do we need such a clerical role for Lokpal? Did lakhs of people come on streets for a jokepal?" Kejriwal tweeted today.

Paswan, who had a meeting with Kejriwal earlier in the day, told PTI that he has categorically told Team Anna that he will not support any move to bring the prime minister under the ambit of Lokpal.

"The prime minister cannot be exposed to competitive politics. We have a hostile neighbourhood and we cannot have our prime minister under scanner always," he said.

JokePal will increase Corruptions. First of all JokePal has only 6 months Jail Terms for Corrupt Ministers or Corrupt Government Officers. They will do Corruptions and Sit in Jail for 6 Months and then come out and enjoy that Corrupt Looted Money. Secondly, there is Fine and No Termination for Corrupt Government Officials. So Corrupt Government Officer will ask double amount of Bribes from Innocent People to pay their fines. That means Double Corruptions in JokePal. Double Enjoyment for Corrupt Ministers and Corrupt Government Officers in JokePal. Support Annaji. Support Jan Lokpal Bill.

Kejriwal and his team`s unrealistic, impracticable and inflexible insistance on only `their version of Lokpal` will certainly result in a big Jokpal. Even persons who were initially sympathetic to them are having second thoughts thanks to their adament stance.
