The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Law and Justice and Personnel today issued an advertisement in dailies supplying salient features of the Bill and asking people to send their views and suggestions within 15 days.
While 15 days is the standard time distributed by parliamentary panels to people or organisations to send feedback on bills, it was an indication that the Committee won't be able to give its recommendations before the end of the Monsoon Program on September 8.
Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has set August 30 since the deadline for Parliament to pass the bill.
Soon after the bill had been introduced in Lok Sabha on August 4, the Rajya Sabha Chairman has referred it towards the Committee and given it three months to give recommendations.
The Standing Committee on Law and Justice and Personnel is serviced through the Rajya Sabha secretariat and headed by a Rajya Sabha member in this instance Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
Soon after the bill was referred to it, the Committee had invited team Hazare to put its views before the panel.
Home Minister P Chidambaram had recently said that Hazare was liberated to place his views before the panel once again.
Reacting to the paper advertisements seeking suggestions from public on Lok Pal Bill, Hazare's associate Arvind Kejriwal said it seemed to be an exercise which will waste the time of people and Parliamentarians.
"We appeared prior to the Standing Committee earlier and told them that the present bill is really for promotion of corruption and save the corrupt people, " he stated.
