The Lok Sabha Tuesday gave its assent to the historic Lokpal bill after the government agreed to bring official amendments at the end of marathon 10-hour debate which saw the opposition tearing into the legislation.
However, the government suffered a major embarrassment as it could not pass the bill to give constitutional status to the Lokpal.
The Lokpal bill will now go to the Rajya Sabha where the government does not have a majority.
The day saw hectic deliberations within the government as some United Progressive Alliance (UPA) allies of the Congress joined the opposition in slamming some provisions of the draft legislation.
What are your opinion?

I too see the full conversion on the Lokpal bill at Loksabh. After lots of unworked day the members of Loksabh joined and gathered nearly for 11 hours. Its nice to see that our MPs are working lastly.
The one thing which i don't understand is that our Loksabh speaker talks speedly about certain bill and asked for I'S or NOs and by hearing it, the speaker decide that I's have it or NO's have it. Then again the same bill goes for voting. Still i need to learn these things. If any body knows better about it, please explain it briefly.
Ruling party will surely struggle in Rajayasabha were it does not have numbers, if BSP and BJD will not join in RS also then its very diffcult for them.
