New Delhi : Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday said parliament must take the final decision on the Lokpal bill.
He also said the Lokpal bill tabled in the house “lives up to the promise that members of this house collectively made to the people of the country by the way of ‘sense of house’ “.
“It is a serious business and must eventually be performed by all of us who have been constutionally assigned. Others can persuade and their voices heard, but the decision must rest with us,” Singh said during the debate on Lokpal in the Lok Sabha.
“There are some very special moments in the life of the nation. This is one of them that how collective wisdom of this august house will be reflected in the debate on Lokpal and Lakayuktas,” he added.
“The broad provisions of the bill have been debated both in public domain and by political parties. It is my honest belief that the bill which is now before the house lives up to the promise that members of this house collectively make to the people of the country by the way of ‘sense of house’,” he added.
