Lalu, Amar, Manish will examine Lokpal Bill

Will or can they do an honest job of it?

GN Bureau | August 23, 2011




Here we reproduce the list of members of the parliamentary standing committee on personnel, public grievances and law and justice which is looking into the Lokpal Bill. It is headed by Congressman Abhishek Manu Singhvi.

Judge for yourself if they inspire your confidence that they will do an honest job.

For starter, Lalu Prasad is very much an accused in the fodder scam. Amar Singh may be arrested in connection with cash-for-vote scam any day. And Manish Tewari is Congress spokesman who said Anna is corrupt "from head to toe".
