May 10, 2012 16:12

The Lok Sabha has reconvened after being adjourned over the home minister's reply over his son's Karti's alleged involvment in the Aircel-Maxis deal.

For now, still no clarity whether the Parliament Budget session will be extended till May 30 to pass important bills like the Lokpal.

The Trinamool Congress today said it will support the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha if it is brought without the clause about appointing Lokayuktas in the
states. "If the Lokpal Bill is presented without Lokayukta (clause), we will support that. This has been our demand. The states should have the powers to appoint the Lokayuktas. This has been our demand...," TMC leader and Minister of State for Tourism Sultan Ahmed said.
