The AAP government has
decided not to table the Jan Lokpal bill in the assembly on Thursday, a source
said.
"The bill will not be
tabled today (Thursday) as it will be circulated to all the legislators so that
they can go through it," the source in the government told IANS.
The Congress — which props
up the government from outside — has opposed the bill since the AAP government
did not get central government's nod before it is introduced in the Assembly.
Kejriwal has threatened to
resign if the government is not able to push through the anti-corruption bill.
Despite the Union law
ministry's opinion late Wednesday that the central government's prior consent
is mandatory for introducing Jan Lokpal bill in the assembly, the AAP
government was firm on its stand of bringing it in the assembly.
