The first meeting of the reconstituted Parliamentary Standing Committee, going into the Lokpal Bill, will be held on September 23-24 when the viewpoint of seven to eight witnesses will be recorded.
“We have programmed detailed negotiations with seven to eight witnesses on September 23 and September 24,” Chairman of the Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice, Abhishek Singhvi said. Singhvi, however, has refused to disclose which of the witnesses will be called for the deliberations. The Committee has been asked to give its report on the Lokpal issue within a period of three months. The 31-member committee headed by Singhvi was reconstituted along with other comparable Parliamentary panels by Speaker, Meira Kumar in consultation with Rajya Sabha Chairman, Hamid Ansari, yesterday itself.
The term of the former committee headed by Singhvi was over by August 31 like all previous parliamentary committees. The delay in reconstitution of the committee was inviting criticism from some quarters in the milieu of the government, making it obvious that it wanted to commence the Lokpal Bill in the winter session.
While the Rajya Sabha has re-nominated most of the members on this committee like on other panels, the Speaker decided the composition from the Lower House in consultation with political parties. RJD Chief, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Manish Tewari of Congress from the Lok Sabha, and Amar Singh from the Rajya Sabha are among those re-nominated to the commission which had earlier been failed to give its account within three months.
