Markandey Katju
New Delhi 31 March 2012. Press Council Chairman, Justice Markandey Katju, today urged Parliament to refer the Lokpal Bill to a Standing Committee for further consideration so that workable corruption investigation machinery can be created.
In its present state, the Bill can create a parallel bureaucracy that could turn into a “Frankenstein monster” and double or triple corruption, he said in a statement.
He said that the implications of creating a Lokpal were not carefully thought out and Anna Hazare was an honest person, but his ideas were not scientific.
