Government to finalize the lokpal bill by June 30

Government to introduce lokpal bill in the Monsoon session of Parliament - Says Kapil Sibal
Trouble in the Lokpal Bill drafting committee escalated on last Monday with civil society members boycotting its meeting citing "suspicious intent" of the government which hit back, saying the Anna Hazare's team was raising "extraneous" issues.
A tough-talking government asserted that the committee would continue its work to draft a strong Lokpal and finish it by June 30 for introduction in monsoon session of Parliament "whether or not someone" comes for the meetings.
The two sides were engaged in war of words as a result of which five civil society members in the committee boycotted the meeting which was attended only by the five ministers representing the government, raising questions over the joint panel.
