Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh ji,
We were invited for talks by Shri Kapil Sibal yesterday (7 April, 2011). Swami Agnivesh and Arvind
Kejriwal went and met him twice.
Following issues wore discussed:
1) The government agreed to set up a joint drafting committee consisting of 50% members from
civil society.
2) The Government agreed that this committee should prepare its draft law by such time so that it
could be presented in the monsoonrsessiomof Parliament.
3) The government proposed Mr Pranab Mukherjee to head this committee. | request you to
reconsider this as people are demandinga non-political person as the Chairperson. Despite an
outcry for me to be the Chairperson, | am not interested in holding any position. | propose the
name/s of Justice J S Verma or Justice Santosh Hegde to be made the Chairperson.
4) All the above should be issued in the form of a notification or a formal government order which
specifies the constitution of the committee, names of its members and Chairperson, time lines
and terms.
Warm regards,
