BJP to grill govt on corruption, Lokpal issues in Parliament

(I WISH THIS TIME THERE SHOULD BE STRONG LOKPAL BILL GET FINAL SHAPE AND GET PASSED ALSO FINALLY...VT)

Amritsar, Jul 31 (PTI) The BJP today said it will grill the central government on the issues of corruption, terrorism and non-inclusion of Prime Minister from the ambit of Lokpal in the monsoon session of the Parliament, which starts tomorrow.
The BJP will not allow smooth functioning of both the Houses if the Congress-led UPA government does not address these issues, BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters here.
On the Lokpal issue, he said the draft approved by the cabinet is below expectation and the party supports inclusion of the Prime Minister in its ambit.
On the 2G scam, the party spokesperson said the BJP demands the CBI probe against P Chidambaram, the then Finance Minister when the 2G Spectrum allocation was made, and asked why Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi are maintaining "silence" over the matter.
Prasad also sought inclusion of all the suspects in the ongoing CBI probe into the cash for vote scam, saying the Congress had compromised with principals to cling onto power at the Centre.
