Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal introduced the
anti-graft Lokayukta Bill in the assembly on Wednesday, which would
minimise the growing corruption in the state.
Introducing the significant Bill, Dhumal appealed all the members of Assembly to go through the bill and have a debate.
The CM said that the Bill was prepared after receiving suggestions from various quarters and public. He said that everyone right from the CM to ward member in panchayat are under the ambit of the Lokayaukta.
There would be debate on the Bill on Friday, the last day of the budget session. However, Congress MLA GS Bali sought the clarification from the government on Team Anna's recent remarks on the draft.
Dhumal made it clear that the government has not met the Team Anna members. Supporting the government version of the draft, he said that Arvind Kejriwal remarks are not sacrosanct.
Dhumal's reaction came after Kejriwal had commented that Himachal Pradesh Lokayukta Bill is a very weak and ineffective. Appreciating the Uttarakhand Lokayukta Bill, he had suggested the Himachal Pradesh government to follow its neighbouring state's system of Lokayukta.
Kejriwal had said that the Lokayukta draft prepared by Himachal pradesh government seeks to legitimise corruption rather than punish people, who are responsible for the graft.
