Sonia Gandhi seeks opposition cooperation on Lokpal Bill

Congress (I) President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has sought cooperation of the opposition parties in passage of effective Lokpal Bill by allowing the Parliament to function without any disruption.  She said her Congress (I) government has been taking suitable steps to tackle the ‘plague’ of corruption. “The RTI which our government brought-in, has placed in the hands of the people a powerful weapon against corruption.  Together with an effective Lokpal Bill, the government is working on a variety of legislations, which will systematically fight corruption. I hope that the opposition will support us in passing these important measures," she added. But opposition is up to its old game of not allowing the Parliament to function. It is neither the stage for Anna Hazare to approve or disapprove the Bill nor corruption the sole issue before the country. So opposition parties ought to cooperate, as requested by Sonia Gandhi, in proceedings of Parliament so that passage of Lokpal Bill is achieved, said Congress (I).
