LJP leader Ramvilas Paswan today said the Parliamentary Standing Committee, of which he is a member, that is looking into the Lokpal Bill will finalise a strong
draft that will work for the eradication of corruption.

"We will discuss various drafts on the Lokpal Bill that has come to the Parliamentary Standing Committee, including the three-point agenda of Team Anna....We will endeavour to come up with the best possible piece of legislation on the Lokpal issue with a goal to ensure eradication of corruption."

The LJP chief said the members of the Committee have no difference of opinion among themselves on the contours of the Lokpal Bill. On a time-frame for finalisation of the draft, Paswan said it will take about three months to deliberate upon various aspects of the proposed bill before making a recommendation to the government.
