Arvind Kejriwal government to table Jan Lokpal Bill today

Heading for a confrontation with the Centre, the Arvind Kejriwal government on Wednesday night declared it was going ahead with tabling of the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi assembly on Thursday, ignoring Union Law Ministry’s view that the Centre’s prior approval was required.

Senior AAP leaders Prashant Bhushan and Gopal Rai said if Jan Lokpal Bill is not tabled in Vidhan Sabha then there is not point for Delhi government to be in power.
The hardening of the AAP government’s stand came even as Congress and BJP held the move by the ruling dispensation as “unconstitutional”.
