December 18, 2013 12:33

In the Lok Sabha, the Lokpal Bill is being debated.

Sushma Swaraj, Rahul Gandhi, Mulayam Singh Yadav have spoken.

Rahul said that there were six pending anti-corruption bills and if the session has to be extended to pass them, it should. He said all parties should pass the bill unanimously and make history.

In Ralegan Siddhi, Anna Hazare watches the proceedings on TV. He is on the 9th day of his fast and has said he will break the fast only when the LS passes the bill.

Mulayam Singh says the Lokpal Bill is very dangerous and asks who will investigate the PM. Remember, the SP had walked out of the RS yesterday when the bill was under discussion.
