Parliament passed the Lokpal bill that provides for formation of an anti-graft ombudsman amid din in the Lok Sabha after amendments to the legislation were adopted by the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. Opposing the bill, the Samajwadi Party members walked out in protest as they did in the upper house the day before. Urging Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to withdraw the bill, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav iterated that the bill was dangerous and there would be chaos in the country.
The bill was first passed by the Lok Sabha at the fag end of the winter session of 2011, but not by the Rajya Sabha, where it was debated but the house was adjourned before voting on it. After the Lok Sabha reassembled at 12 noon on Wednesday after being adjourned for an hour, Law Minister Kapil Sibal moved the bill as amended by the Rajya Sabha to be taken up for consideration by the Lok Sabha.
BJP stated that Anna Hazare (who has been fasting) be given credit for the bill and not Congress for passing the bill, while, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi urged all parties to pass the bill saying that they were at a juncture to make history.
