Current Affairs : Anti-Corruption : Lokpal Bill : Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice
Source :http://www.rajandraws.com/
The government site has this to say about parliamentary committees : http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/intro/p21.htm
The work done by the Parliament in modern times is not only varied in nature, but considerable in volume. The time at its disposal is limited. It cannot, therefore, give close consideration to all the legislative and other matters that come up before it. A good deal of its business is, therefore, transacted by what are called the Parliamentary Committees.
When a Bill comes up before a House for general discussion,it is open to that House to refer it to a Select Committee of the House or a Joint Committee of the two Houses. A motion has to be moved and adopted to this effect in the House in which the Bill comes up for consideration.
The following information is from the Rajya Sabha Web-Site : http://164.100.47.5/webcom/MainPage.aspx
The Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice was Constituted on 31/08/2010.
This is a joint committee.
Given below are the members of that committee. The Lokpal Bill stands to be considered by this committee.
Some of these members have corruption cases against them. So many Indians are skeptical that this committee will approve a strong Jan Lokpal Bill.
Please follow the links to wikipedia in the table for an idea of the achievements of some famous candidates.
