December 14, 2011 18:39

Lokpal meet underway. Earlier in the day, the heads of the CVC and the CBI met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to discuss various issues related to the proposed Lokpal bill.

Central Vigilance Commissioner Pradeep Kumar and CBI Director A P Singh are understood to have raised concerns over the present form of the proposed anti-corruption bill and sought its redressal.

Kumar had objected to the proposed inclusion of 'Group C' employees comprising clerical staff under the CVC ambit. The CBI has expressed unhappiness over many issues related to the Lokpal saying many of the clauses would severely impair the functioning of the investigating agency.

Kejriwal has said that Team Anna is against the division of the CBI.
