Bedi: Create Lokpal through spl Parl session

November 23, 2011 17:03

Team Anna member Kiran Bedi today tweeted what was stopping the ruling Congress from declaring its resolve to create an effective Lokpal through a special session of Parliament or an ordinance in case Parliament by any chance is stalled.

Bedi's latest tweet is not in sync with Anna Hazare's stand that the Jan Lokpal Bill be passed during the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.

Asked whether her stand means Team Anna is reconciling to the idea that the Lokpal Bill may not be passed during the Winter Session, Bedi said, "It's my personal tweet. It is not a reconciliation.

"What I am saying is that nothing can stop the party in power from creating Lokpal. It can do so through any means... even if Parliament by any chance is stalled. It can express its resolve by calling a special session focussed on Lokpal."
