Govt rejects Anna's key demand

Govt rejects one of the key demands of Anna Hazare. The possibility of passage of Jan Lokpal Bill by August 30 as demanded by Anna Hazare is unlikely, sources in the government and Congress said. The sources noted that the Lokpal Bill, introduced by the government in the Lok Sabha, was currently before a Parliamentary Standing Committee which has got to do a lot of due diligence before it could give its recommendations. The sources ruled out the possibility of two bills being taken up by the Committee and Parliament at the same time.
