Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has said that the government wants a strong and effective Lokpal, but said it would like a broad national consensus to emerge on the issue. "We have presented a Lokpal Bill in Parliament. This was demand of all political parties when I convened that conference (on July 3); the parties said they can't give viewpoint without a draft. So, we have fulfilled that obligation. Now, we want broad national consensus," Dr Singh said.
