Consensus on the inclusion of Prime Minister under the ambit of Lokpal eluded a Parliamentary panel scrutinising the bill even as it prepared to circulate a draft report of the recommendations to the members in the next few days.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel and Law and Justice scrutinising the Lokpal Bill on Thursday ended its internal deliberations with “broad consensus” on most of the issues, including giving Constitutional status to Lokpal.
A draft report of the recommendations of the panel could be circulated to the members as early as Monday.
