Lokpal Bill bound to come: CIC

Observing that people had lost faith and trust in the government, the Chief Information Commissioner on Friday said that the Lokpal Bill was bound to come,adding that it would come under focus in the forthcoming Budget Session in Parliament.

Lokpal or the Jan Lokpal… is likely to again spring back to the central stage as soon as the Budget Session is announced…It is bound to come because people have lost faith,trust in the government. Not so much in the government,but in the government servants, said Chief Information Commissioner Satyanand Mishra while addressing a workshop on the RTI Act here.

Holding that Lokpal was an insistent demand,the CIC said: Lokpal is a very important institution. I hope some day,it will come.
