Apropos the news item “Govt bends on pension Bill, dilutes key features” (December 21), the agreement between the government and the Bharatiya Janata Party may have diluted the pension Bill but it is welcome in that it could ensure the Bill smooth passage. Similar agreement on other key pieces of legislation could help the government effect economic reforms more smoothly. A similar deal should be reached on the Lok Pal Bill.
