CHANDIGARH, December 28: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder Singh today welcomed the passage of the Lokpal Bill in the Parliament yesterday saying it was a historic legislation that will go a long way in eliminating corruption from the country.
In a statement issued here today, Capt Amarinder congratulated the Congress President Ms Sonia Gandhi and the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh for the passage of the Lokpal Bill in the winter session of the parliament itself.
The PCC President said, the bill should also silence those critics and skeptics who have always tried to derive political mileage out of the issue. He said, the Lokpal bill should also set to rest all the speculations about the uncertainties attached to it.
The former Chief Minister hoped that better sense prevails among the opposition parties who have so far been trying to exploit the issue for their partisan purposes. “I hope they see the reason and rise above their partisan considerations and stop petty politicking on the issue”, he said.
