The govt has decided to have a discussion in the Lok Sabha tomorrow on the Jan Lokpal Bill.
NEW DELHI: Anna Hazare's major demand is set to be met with the government on Thursday deciding to have a discussion in the Lok Sabha tomorrow on the Jan Lokpal Bill.
Sources said the discussion will take place on the bill in the shape of a "document" and its salient features after which the records of the debate are expected to be sent to the parliamentary standing committee examining the Lokpal Bill.
It was, however, not clear immediately whether the debate would be held under Rule 193 or Rule 184, which entails voting.
The decision in this regard was reached during hectic parleys within the government, which included Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh's meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Subsequently, Singh held consultations with senior ministerial colleagues Pranab Mukherjee and A K Antony.
The decision to hold the discussion marks meeting of a major demand of Hazare who said only then he would decide on ending his 10-day fast.
Anna Hazare has made three demands to the Prime Minister--- citizen's charter, lokayuktas in all states with Lokpal powers and inclusion of lowest to highest bureaucracy.
He was reacting to the appeal from Parliament that he end his fast after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made an offer to the civil society that the Jan Lokpal bill will be discussed by Parliament.
Hazare said he has sent this message through Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh when he came to meet him at the fast site and appealed to him to end his hunger strike.
