December 17th, 2011 - 7:38 pm ICT by IANS
On board Air India One, Dec 17 (IANS) With Anna Hazare threatening an indefinite protest for a strong anti-graft law and the parliamentary panel submitting its report on the Lokpal Bill, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday said his government was working hard to get the legislation passed by parliament in the winter session itself and it will be placed before the cabinet Sunday.
“We will make all effort to pass the bill in this session. We are working day and night to give shape to the bill and it’s my hope that by tomorrow (Sunday), we should be able to bring the bill to the cabinet,” Manmohan Singh told reporters while returning home from Moscow.
“Thereafter, we will be ready to take it to parliament. But once it is in parliament, it is in the hands of parliament. We don’t know what could happen. But there should not be any doubt about our sincerity to get the bill passed in this session,” he added.
