Anna Hazare wins, Parliament passes resolution on Lokpal Bill
NEW DELHI: Both Houses of Parliament on Saturday passed a resolution conveying the sense of the House on the Lokpal Bill, paving the way for Anna Hazare to break his fast.

On a motion moved by Pranab Mukherjee, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha passed a resolution conveying the sense of the House on the Lokpal Bill.

After the passage of the resolution, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the Lok Sabha till Monday.

There was some confusion over whether the resolution was passed by a voice vote or not. Apparently, no voice vote took place.

"Thumping of the desk is akin to passing a motion by voice vote," Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar told Times Now.

After the passage of the Lokpal resolution in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha also passed the resolution.

Team Anna welcomes the passage of the Lokpal resolution, Kiran Bedi said.

Some of the important points of the Lokpal resolution passed by Parliament are:

*An effective Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states be set up.

*Employees of centre and state governments to be brought under purview of Lokpal and Lokayuktas respectively.

*All government departments to have citizen's charter with timeline.

With a copy of Lokpal resolution and a letter from PM Manmohan Singh, Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh would now go to Ramlila Maidan to meet Anna Hazare.

Earlier, the team Anna said they have received a communication from the government that a resolution carrying their demands on Lokpal Bill will be put to a voice vote, a move which they termed as a "very happy" development.

Fresh trouble emerged this afternoon after government decided only to convey sense of House to Team Anna and not put the resolution for voting, the activists hardened their position saying it was "betrayal" and only a resolution which will be put to vote will be acceptable.

This forced the government to change its stand. The activist's camp said they have received the communication from the government about its decision to put the resolution to voice vote.

The 74-year-old Gandhian has been on fast for the last 12 days, demanding the passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill by Parliament.

Decisive day of Anna Hazare’s movement

The condition of veteran Gandhian Anna Hazare has bee deteriorating on the 8th day of his fast against corruption.


However, it is believed that Tuesday may be the decisive day of Anna’s Anshan for strong Jan Lokpal Bill. The government is on backfoot following massive support to Anna across the country, and it is expected that the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may give influential statement in the Parliament to end the deadlock.



On the other hand, Team Anna member Kiran Bedi has said that Anna’s condition is deteriorating. Anna’s kidney is getting affected due to fast and doctors say that next 24-48 hrs may be dangerous for the veteran activist.



After more than 165 hours of fast, the central government has been bowing before the Team Anna and offered reasoned dialogue over the issue of strong lokpal bill.



The government has given invitation for talks through spiritual leader Shri Shri Ravi Shankar. However, Anna doesn’t want to talk with Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambara because duo had slammed former’s move to sit on dharna.



On Monday, Team Anna suggested few names for the mediators to government.



On the other hand, united Opposition is the biggest worry for the government. The BJP has come out in open support for Anna. Even Lal Krishna Advanai dared Prime Minister to seek fresh mandate as his government has lost faith of the public.



Between all these circumstances, it is expected that Manmohan Singh may give decisive statement in the House on Tuesday, which will help Team Anna to end the Anshan.



According to the sources, Team Anna has said that the matter can be resolved in 24 hours. “There is need for a political dialogue to find the solution. We don’t need informal mediators,” Team Anna said.



If sources are to be believed government has agreed to bring Prime Minister under the ambit of Lokpal. The government version of Lokpal doesn’t include judiciary and prime minister.



The decision was taken in a meeting held at Prime Minister’s residence on Monday night.
