Sibal slaps Hazare, ready to table Lokpal bill without Anna

New Delhi, Jun 6: The UPA government's shield Kapil Sibal hurled his strong attack on Anna Hazare and his Lokpal team after the civil society members boycotted the meeting on Lokpal bill on Monday, Jun 6.

The telecom minister criticising Hazare and his supporters, said, "Demand for public debate not in mandate of Lokpal panel. We have been called cheats, yet we have always cooperated."

Sibal also informed that the government has set Jun 15 as the next date of meeting for Lokpal panel and if the civil society members will not turn to the meeting, government will table the bill without Hazare and his aides.

Kapil showed the government's dedication to submit the bill during the Parliament's upcoming monsoon session which will be conducted in Aug 2011.

"We reject all the allegation made by Anna Hazare in strongest word that we are not cooperating with them. In future this kind of language should not be used in public," said Sibal.
