BJP on Lokpal: Govt only knows how to show off
May 22, 2012  15:34

A day after the Lokpal Bill was tabled in Parliament, the BJP today said that it will make every effort to get the anti-corruption legislation passed. The party discussed the issue at a meeting of its Parliamentary Party during which it also criticised the government's White Paper on Blackmoney, which, it said, was "blank" and hid more than it revealed. 

 

"The government has run away on Lokpal issue. It wants to delay the Lokpal issue," it said while taking strong objection to the government's handling of the issue. "Both the intention and policy of the government are not right on the issue. It only knows how to show off. Last time it got a copy of the Lokpal Bill torn and this time it got a resolution from another party. The government intends to delay the Lokpal Bill somehow," party spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters after the meeting.
