Bangalore: Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today expressed confidence that the Lokpal Bill would be passed in Parliament.


“The bill is pending in Rajya Sabha. Now it is under discussion. We will pass it,” he told reporters here.

Shinde said the government got the Lokpal Bill passed in Lok Sabha after which it had gone to Rajya Sabha which sent it to the Select Committee. “The Select Committee has recommended some amendments and we have accepted them.”

The minister concerned has already piloted the Bill, Shinde said.

He said the government had promised social activist Anna Hazare, who is on an indefinite fast since Tuesday demanding a stronger anti-graft ombudsman, that the Lokpal bill would be passed.

The government had yesterday brought back the Lokpal bill in Rajya Sabha in an amended form but its consideration was thwarted by Samajwadi Party, an outside supporter of the UPA government, which disrupted proceedings.
