Digvijay backs Maya's demand for Dalit member in Lokpal panel

Agencies Posted online: Sat Apr 23 2011, 14:05 hrs
New Delhi : Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh today backed Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's demand for inclusion of a Dalit
representative in the Lokpal drafting committee while Justice Santosh
Hegde does not seem to find any merit in it.

"The demand is valid," Singh said when asked about Mayawati's demand.

However Hegde, who is a member of the commitee, said, "if you have to
have any caste-wise representation, then this committee can never be
constituted."

Asked about the issue, Union Minister Salman Khurshid, a member of the
joint committee, said, "we should trust the ten members. Let them
present their product... we should give them a chance. After the
product comes out, we can see and examine it and put forth our
objections if any."
