Justice Pinaki Ghose took oath on Saturday as the first Lokpal of India.
President Ram Nath Kovind appointed a nine member Lokpal with former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose made its chairperson and four justices made its judicial members.
After the Lokpal selection panel reportedly cleared the name of a retired Supreme Court Judge for the ombudsman’s post, anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has said that the government was “forced” to take the step under pressure of the people’s movement and the apex court.
Supreme Court on Tuesday expressed displeasure over non-appointment of Lokpal by the central government.
Leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge today wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he will not attend a meeting of the selection committee for appointment of Lokpal till the time the leader of the single largest opposition party is accorded a full-fledged member of the panel.
“Whoever joins the movement, signs affidavit which states, that they’ll neither join any political party or group nor will contest elections, ensure service to country, society and maintain good character. I’ll not let any political party or group come on this stage,” Hazare said.
Supreme Court on Friday sought a detailed reply from 12 states and Union territories for not appointing Lokayukta.
