Cabinet Lokpal Bill

The state cabinet on Monday cleared the draft Punjab Lokayukta Bill that allows prosecution of MLAs, including the Chief Minister, if two-thirds of the assembly approves. The bill to be introduced in the current Budget session seeks to replace the Punjab Lokpal Act, 1996 and will cover all public functionaries.

The ongoing winter session of the Delhi Assembly was today extended till December 4 aimed at facilitating the smooth passage of several legislations including the Jan Lokpal Bill which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cabinet recently cleared.

The Delhi government is likely to extend the ongoing Winter Session to allow passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill which was cleared by the cabinet earlier this week.

A day after the Delhi Cabinet cleared the Jan Lokpal Bill, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal recounted his days with 'Team Anna' when he had burnt copies of the UPA government's draft Lokpal, terming it "jokepal".

After a day of row in the assembly and out, the Delhi cabinet cleared the Jan Lokpal Bill this evening. The bill could be tabled in the assembly next week, sources said.

The Winter Session of Delhi Assembly is set to begin today for which the state government has lined up six Bills even as opposition BJP said it will try to corner the ruling AAP in the House over various issues, including the demand for introduction of the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Delhi came under a spell of President's Rule today, some 60 hours after Arvind Kejriwal resigned from the chief minister's post after the BJP and the Congress foiled his plans to introduce the anti-graft Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly.

Arvind Kejriwal's cabinet will today discuss a proposed anti-graft law that seeks to punish corruption with a maximum sentence of life in jail.

The Jan Lokpal Bill is likely to be approved by the Delhi Cabinet tomorrow as its draft has almost been finalised by a panel headed by the Chief Secretary.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said that his office has been kept under the purview of Jan Lokpal Bill, whose broad contours have been finalised, and will be taken up in the cabinet early next week.

Differing with Anna Hazare on the amended Lokpal Bill approved by the Union Cabinet, his team member and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi today backed the legislation saying it addresses most of their concerns.

The much-awaited Lokpal Bill, intended as the antidote to systemic corruption, was cleared by the cabinet on Thursday. It will now be presented in the Rajya Sabha. Once it is cleared there, it will move to the Lok Sabha. However, Anna Hazare has slammed it and called it 'toothless'. Here are highlights of what Mr Hazare said:

Anna Hazare on Thursday rejected the amended Lokpal bill approved by the Union Cabinet as a "farce" and announced he will launch another agitation if the government went ahead with the enactment of a "weak" legislation.
