New Delhi: Discussion on all versions of the Lokpal Bill may take place on Saturday, according to report on Friday. The modalities of the resolution and debate is reportedly being worked upon even as Anna Hazare’s indefinite fast for a strong Lokpal entered the 11th day on Friday.

Three Congress MPs Jagdambika Pal, Anu Tandon and Sanjay Nirupam have given notice to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar for Jan Lokpal Bill debate under Rule 193, which does not entail voting.

Earlier in the day, parliamentary affairs minister P K Bansal said a discussion on Janlokpal bill as demanded by Anna Hazare may not be possible in Lok Sabha during the day but added that nothing can be ruled out.

“I am not saying that there will be no discussion but it looks less likely today because of other businesses, including private members’ bill,” he said.

Asked whether this meant that there will be no discussion, the minsiter said that “no, I am not saying that. There will be a discussion but it has to be decided when and how to do it.”

Meanwhile, Team Anna stuck to its stand saying that Anna Hazare will not call off his fast till the government sends a written assurance on the three sticky points whereas the government wants Hazare to promise he will end fast once the debate begins in Parliament.

According to TV reports, the government has asked Team Anna to redraft its Jan Lokpal Bill.

On Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s assurances on Thursday on a discussion in the House and the situation in view of the deteriorating health of Hazare, he said, he would also like the Gandhian to call off his fast.

Asked whether he rules out the possibility of the discussion today, Bansal said he was not ruling out such a possibility because it can be worked out and if a decision is taken, media will get to know.

“I hope Anna’s health does not deteriorate further and he breaks his fast. The prime minister appealed emotionally to him yesterday that the nation is with you. What more can Parliament do,” he said as the Gandhian’s fast for a strong Lokpal entered the 11th day.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has met the Prime Minister reportedly to discuss the Lokpal Bill issue.
