The Lok Pal Bill, which was passed by Lok Sabha last year, had been sent to select committee following opposition hurdles in Rajya Sabha on its various provisions especially making it mandatory for states for set up Lokayuktas. The select committee in its report tabled in the Rajya Sabha recommended delinking the issue of creating Lokayuktas in states from the Central bill.
"I will be happy if the bill carrying select committee recommendations is passed in Lok Sabha during the budget session,’’ she said, adding that she will be accompanying Anna Hazare at his public rally in Patna on January 30.
