Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had stated that he had no hesitation in bringing himself under the ambit of Lokpal bill.

Since the 1989 V P Singh government, three bills were brought on Lokpal. Also in 1996 and 2001. All of them provided for placing the PM under the Lokpal. It is surprising that the UPA government is refusing to accept this.

All the three bills were brought during non-Congress governments. A Parliamentary Standing Committee headed by Pranab Mukherjee “had made precisely this point” while examining the 2001 Lokpal bill that the Prime Minister should be included.
