A parliamentary committee has sought public opinion and suggestions on the Lokpal Bill, giving people 15 days to send their feedback on the measure, which proposes to create an anti-corruption watchdog.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law and Justice and Personnel on Saturday issued an advertisement in dailies giving out salient features of the Bill and asking people to send their opinions and suggestions within 15 days.
While 15 days is the standard time given by parliamentary panels to people or organisations to send feedback on bills, it was an indication that the Committee will not be able to give its recommendations before the end of the Monsoon Session on September 8.
The Standing Committee on Law and Justice and Personnel is serviced by the Rajya Sabha secretariat and headed by a Rajya Sabha member -- in this case Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
