An all-party meeting to discuss the government and civil society drafts on the proposed Lok Pal Bill will be held on July 3.
Following major differences on several key issues such as exclusion of the prime minister from the purview of the ombudsman, the government will present two versions of the anti-corruption Bill before the political parties.
The all-party meeting had been convened on July 3, government sources said here today. After nine meetings spread over months, the civil society and the government failed to arrive at a common draft on the bill yesterday. The drafts of the government and the civil society will be circulated among political parties in the meeting before being taken up by the Union Cabinet.
