Arun Jaitley tears apart govt's Lokpal Bill

Initiating the debate on Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha, leader of Opposition in the Upper House, Arun Jaitley said the Lokpal Bill drafted by the government is a half-hearted legislation. He alleged the government is trying to create a smokescreen of giving constitutional status to the body of Lokpal to hide the flaw of the bill being a weak one. Jaitley 'invited' the government to give Lokpal the constitutional status provided the rights of states won't be infringed upon and federal structure of the polity would remain intact.
