New Delhi, Aug 26 : Team Anna member and senior lawyer
Prashant Bhushan said today that mere discussion on the Jan Lokpal Bill
was not enough and Parliament need to pass a resolution on the issue.
Only after a resolution is passed, Anna will break his fast, he added.
Speaking
to reporters after meeting CPI-M leader Prakash Karat, Prashant Bhushan
said, the Lokpal issue has been hanging fire for the last 42 years and
had been introduced in Parliament at least 8 times. The bills were sent
to the Standing Committee at least eight times, he said.
As
Anna has said, Parliament should at least pass a resolution accepting
the three main contention provisions which should appear in the Lokpal
Bill, Bhushan said.
Asked about some rules coming the way of
discussion on Jan Lokpal Bill, Prashant Bhushan said, every rule of Lok
Sabha can be waived off by a resolution under Rule 388 of the House.
"If they want to discuss, they can start the discussion by waiving
rules", he added.
On his meeting with Karat, Prashant Bhushan
said, they (CPI-M) wanted some clarifications. "We have given the
clarifications. By and large they support all the provisions in our
bill," he said.
