New Delhi: Today the standing committee of the Parliament will be reviewing the Jan Lokpal Bill draft and other three drafts of the Lokpal Bill. This move was named a timely act by the government of India considering the fact that this review will be adding to the details on the future bill to be presented in the Parliament.
The congress MP and spokesman Abhishek Singhvi is said to be the chairman of the 31 member committee, who is set to review the Lokpal Bill. Although the civil society has expressed its concern on the inclusion of members who have prejudice on the Lokpal bill and is set to oppose it from coming into effect. The spokesman to Anna Hazare and civil society, Arvind Kejariwal speculated on the inclusion of RJD cheif Lalu Prasad Yadav and Amar Singh in the committee and mocked them to be referees to the Lokpal Bill issue, he mentioned that they will be opposing the bill. Arjun Singh who had recently changed his party to Samajwadi Party has requested the congress for excluding him from the committee, which is still being reviewed by the Government.
Lalu Prasad had expressed his dislike to Anna Hazare and the civil society and had been speaking quite against the team during the special discussion held at the Parliament of India. He is expected to express his dislike towards arrogance of the civil society for not bringing up the bill directly to the standing committee and keeping the request for direct presentation at the Parliament. Sources from RJD camp does confirm this stand of the minister and is reported to continue the disapproval of the current state of Jan Lokpal Bill.

He had earlier attacked Anna Hazare of being corrupt and had later withdrawn his statement and also extended the apologies to the Gandhian leader.There is expected to be greater participation of the teams as this issue is more publicized with the agitations caused by Anna Hazare, also there is note mentioned that there are few members from congress who are not aware of the complete details on the lokpal draft.
