Lokpal Bill requires all parties support: Congress

To any sane person it is clear that Lokpal bill is a serious issue which demands national rather than party based approach said Congress. As promised Congress government has introduced the Bill in the parliament. But its further process requires all party support to become a reality. It is simply unacceptable that someone should demand that only his version of a bill be passed by Parliament. What we need, and should happen, is a constructive debate in Parliament on the Lokpal Bill with various versions considered. The government can well claim that it has, in fact, accepted even the contentious points of Hazare's version for discussion. But the Congress cannot pass the Lokpal Bill all on its own. There is need to bring on board all other parties. And if Anna Hazare decides to target only the Congress it is totally unfair. At the level which Anna has reached he should not get emotional and get personal when he echoes the sentiments of millions. Crying for his own version of bill is incorrect. Tomorrow any one can sit down on ‘dharna’ demanding daily or monthly payment to all the people who are poor and can't have two square meals a day. Who will be then judge and who will be jury then?
