Dear Shri Pranab Babu,
Received your letter.
You want our Party, and also other Parties to give our views on certain matters raised by you regarding the Jan Lokpal Bill latest by 6th June 2011, because as you say, “The Joint Drafting Committee has been given a mandate to complete its work latest by 30th June 2011”.
We are not aware who gave the ‘Mandate’ to the Joint Drafting Committee.
At no stage were the Political Parties involved or ever consulted during the entire process of constituting the Joint Drafting Committee. They were deliberately ignored. We do not see how at this stage we, as a Political Party, are called upon to reply to certain matters, that came up during discussions within the Joint Drafting Committee, to which we have had no access or knowledge. Answers are sought by you to some issues in ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as in an objective test. We think this is a very casual way of inquiring from us on such an urgent, sensitive and important matter.
Needless to say we are very keen about an effective Lokpal Bill. We insist that such a Draft should be brought in the forthcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament. There can be no further delay. We as a Political Party will most certainly state our views and suggestions during the discussion on the Bill within the Parliament, and also say and write about them whenever we find it necessary.
With Regards,
Yours,
(A.B. Bardhan)

Shri Pranab Mukherjee,
