New Delhi: Taking a dig at Team Anna for its
proposed agitation over the Lokpal Bill, CPI(M) leader Sitaram
Yechury on Wednesday said they "seem to know more" than what
Parliament does about the legislation.
"We do not know what the proposals (Lokpal Bill) are.
Team Anna seems to know more than Parliament does. In that
case, it is a very bad sign for democracy," Yechury told
reporters when asked about the Anna Hazare's proposed
agitation on Lokpal from December 27.
"The Parliament has to be first told what the government
wants to bring. Let them bring the Bill to House then we will
comment," he said.
