The third round of discussions between the government and civil society representatives over the Lokpal issue has begun here.
Addressing the gathering at the Ramlila Ground earlier in the day, civil society member Arvind Kejriwal said: ?Pranab Mukherjee has invited us for another round of talks. I will go there along with Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan.?
Meanwhile, all the political outfits have requested veteran social activist Anna Hazare to end his fast.
?This meeting of all parties in Parliament requests Shri Anna Hazare to end his fast. The meeting was also of the view that due consideration should be given to the Jan Lokpal Bill so that the Final Draft of the Lokpal Bill provides for a strong and effective Lokpal which is supported by a broad national consensus,? said Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh after the all-party meeting earlier today.
According to reports, the differences between the two groups have now narrowed down to two points, which is appointment of Lokayuktas in all states and on corruption in lower bureaucracy.
The second round of talks between the government and Team Anna ended without any breakthrough earlier in the day.
Anna Hazare earlier today said the support and zeal of his followers across the country is the driving force behind him going strong on his hunger strike.
?Today is the ninth day but the presence of you all and spirit of revolution in the rest of the country is driving my spirit. Nine days have passed but I have a feeling that I can go on for another nine days. I can keep going on for the country,? said Hazare.
He also criticized the government for being insensitive to the sufferings of the common man.
?How can some one who is childless feel the pain of child birth, what are we asking for in the Janlokpal Bill? We are asking them to give what the constitution already entails its people to. We are asking them to decentralize of power,? said Hazare.
?After independence Mahatma Gandhi told that we got freedom but decentralize the power now until it comes in the hands of the people until then democracy can?t be restored,? he added. (ANI)
