  • 5 years ago
Speak Out India is a NewsX special show which debates the main news event of the day. The Cabinet today approved the amendments to the Lokpal bill that the Rajya Sabha select committee suggested, clearing the way for its passage in the Budget session. Out of 16 amendments 14 have been accepted 2 we didn't agree. Now we will go to the Rajya Sabha with amended provisions requesting the chairman Rajya Sabha to take the matter to the RS and pass it. The Lokpal Bill was championed by anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare. Today's proposal includes several amendments to an earlier version cleared by the Lok Sabha, and has been rejected by Anna for being toothless. So we ask you today - Is the government again trying to scuttle Anna's movement? Will the UPA's Lokpal Bill meet the aspirations of India? Should Anna accept this Lokpal Bill as a first step? India comments and shares its view only at this NewsX special show Speak out India.
