New Delhi: Sushma Swaraj in Lok Sabha
- Country has been waiting for so long for a strong Lokpal Bill to be introduced and passed.
- But the way in which the Bill has been brought to us is very disappointing. I will discuss that on December 27 during the actual debate on the Bill
- Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that reservation cannot cross 50%
- This bill sets apart quota for "not less than 50%" of its members for women. SC/STs, OBCs
- There are 9 members - so it suggests reservation for 5 members
- So if we go with this Bill, it will be struck down in seconds as unconstitutional.
- This language is not acceptable
- Bill violates federal principles as well
- Bill should not be tabled today
