ADMINISTRATION & REPs, APPEAL to readers, CENTER & ODISHA August 22nd. 2011, 2:04amThe site http://www.prajnya.in/lokpaldebate.htm has a lot of pointers on all these. Following are links from that site.
- Government’s Lokpal bill: The PRS India website has the best collection of drafts and background resources relating to the Lokpal Bill.
- Jan Lokpal Bill: Draft Bill, June 21, 2011 version.Other resources from the India Against Corruption site are available here, including "Salient features of the Jan Lokpal Bill."
- The Lokpal – NCPRI approach: Letter from Aruna Roy, MKSS; Scope and Coverage—Lokpal Basket of Measures ; (links to ppt converted) (PDF version here); Collective and Concurrent Lokpal Anti-Corruption and Grievance Redress Measures, 3 July 2011 (PDF version); NCPRI Press Release, Aug 16, 2011; About the NCPRI
Again, the site http://www.prajnya.in/lokpaldebate.htm has a lot of pointers.
