Law Minister Salman Khurshid today said the Standing Commitee looking into the Lok Pal Bill could reflect upon the Jan Lok Pal Bill, submitted before it by a Congress member.

Khurshid, who was part of 10-member joint committee to draft the Lok Pal Bill, said there is no difference in the country on merits and contents of the bill to fight corruption.

"It [Jan Lok Pal Bill] is a document that has been sent to the Standing Committee. Standing Committee can get any view and can reflect upon it. People who give evidences before the Committee will point out any formulation that is available before the Committee and Committees can always reflect upon it," Khurshid said.
