Arvind Kejriwal appeals for complete transparency in drafting of Lokpal Bill
From ANI
New Delhi, May 1(ANI): Social activist and member of Lokpal Bill
drafting committee, Arvind Kejriwal, on Sunday appealed for complete
transparency in the Bill drafting.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a rally organized by a
non-governmental organisation, India Against Corruption (IAC) in
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
In a bid to gather public support and suggestions in the draft of the
anti-corruption law, the voluntary group is organizing nationwide
rallies at various places in the country.
He said the five-member representatives of the civil society are
trying their best to bring transparency in the drafting process.
"We do not want in this joint committee that we 10 members would sit
inside the room and come up with a law. We rather wish that the whole
process should be transparent. We have requested for a videography of
the meeting, so that the public get to know what was going on inside,"
Kejriwal said.
He also ensured that the people of India would succeed in their
campaign against corruption.
"We are small people. We do not have money or man-power. We are small
people. We have only one thing, our truth and honesty. We have
confidence that at the end only truth wins," he said.
The Central government had issued a notification on April 9 to appoint
a drafting committee of the Bill after five days of indefinite hunger
strike by veteran social activist Anna Hazare.
The panel consists of 10 members, five each from the government and
the civil society, which includes Hazare, Kejriwal, lawyers Shanti and
Prashant Bhushan and former Supreme Court judge Santosh Hegde.
The first sitting of the draft panel of the Bill took place in New
Delhi on April 16.
