Chairman of the Standing Committee on Lok Pal Abhishek Singhvi today said differences between Team Anna and the government was not much on content but on the methodogy and promised to present an "acceptable to all" Bill within three months.
"You and I are together as far the objective and content is concerned. The essence is similar if not identical and that is fighting corruption. There could be relatively minor differences in form.
"If the ways are a little different, it is because the government is bound by a structure and Parliamentary process," Singhvi said when asked whether the Parliamentary panel could end up incorporating the provisions of Jan Lok Pal Bill when it submits its final draft on Lok Pal Bill to the Parliament.
Noting that Parliamentary panels are given three months initially to give their report and it is generally followed by one or two extensions of three months each, Singhvi, however, said the panel headed by him will give its recommendations within three months.
"We will give recommendations on Lok Pal Bill well before the three-month period given to us," he said refusing to be drawn into a debate on the deadline put by team Hazare.
"Competition in putting up conditions is not going to solve the issue," he said.
Hazare's associate Kiran Bedi, however, reacted sharply to it saying "Singhvi had still not understood the fever. To see the heat generated, they need to see it live."
