&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, refused to attend a selection committee meeting on the Lokpal on Thursday, accusing the government of reducing a &amp;quot;scared procedure&amp;quot; to a &amp;quot;political pretence&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge pointed out that he was invited to the meeting as a mere &amp;quot;special invitee&amp;quot; who would have no say in the selection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The conduct of your government only seeks to diminish the spirit and objective of the appointment of the Lokpal in as much as you seek to deny the participation, voice and opinion of the Opposition,&amp;quot; Kharge wrote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;May I say that such myopic actions belie the spirit of nation-building, more so while constituting an institution like the Lokpal. A more apt and statesman-like conduct is expected from the Prime Minister,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Congress has on several occasions questioned why the top anti-corruption watchdog had not been appointed despite the passage of the Lokpal Act in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BJP and the RSS had lent active support to the Lokpal movement led by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal but did not make the appointment on allegedly flimsy excuses for the first four years of its rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Supreme Court on February 23 nudged the government on the issue, forcing the Centre to call the first meeting of the selection committee on March 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress communications chief Randeep Surjewala accused the government of deliberately weakening the legal framework required to enforce transparency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kharge referred to Modi&#039;s own attitude as Gujarat chief minister, saying: &amp;quot;Notwithstanding your repeated rhetoric to fight corruption, the BJP government has chosen not to appoint a Lokpal for nearly four years. To anyone familiar with the BJP government&#039;s record in not establishing and preserving the office of the Lokayukta in Gujarat, this would not come as a surprise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, refused to attend a selection committee meeting on the Lokpal on Thursday, accusing the government of reducing a &amp;quot;scared procedure&amp;quot; to a &amp;quot;political pretence&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge pointed out that he was invited to the meeting as a mere &amp;quot;special invitee&amp;quot; who would have no say in the selection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The conduct of your government only seeks to diminish the spirit and objective of the appointment of the Lokpal in as much as you seek to deny the participation, voice and opinion of the Opposition,&amp;quot; Kharge wrote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;May I say that such myopic actions belie the spirit of nation-building, more so while constituting an institution like the Lokpal. A more apt and statesman-like conduct is expected from the Prime Minister,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Congress has on several occasions questioned why the top anti-corruption watchdog had not been appointed despite the passage of the Lokpal Act in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The BJP and the RSS had lent active support to the Lokpal movement led by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal but did not make the appointment on allegedly flimsy excuses for the first four years of its rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Supreme Court on February 23 nudged the government on the issue, forcing the Centre to call the first meeting of the selection committee on March 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Congress communications chief Randeep Surjewala accused the government of deliberately weakening the legal framework required to enforce transparency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kharge referred to Modi&#039;s own attitude as Gujarat chief minister, saying: &amp;quot;Notwithstanding your repeated rhetoric to fight corruption, the BJP government has chosen not to appoint a Lokpal for nearly four years. To anyone familiar with the BJP government&#039;s record in not establishing and preserving the office of the Lokayukta in Gujarat, this would not come as a surprise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Cong shuns Lokpal meet

-The Telegraph New Delhi: The leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, refused to attend a selection committee meeting on the Lokpal on Thursday, accusing the government of reducing a "scared procedure" to a "political pretence". In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge pointed out that he was invited to the meeting as a mere "special invitee" who would have no say in the selection. "The conduct of your government only seeks to diminish the spirit and objective of the appointment of the Lokpal in as much as you seek to deny the participation, voice and opinion of the Opposition," Kharge wrote. "May I say that such myopic actions belie the spirit of nation-building, more so while constituting an institution like the Lokpal. A more apt and statesman-like conduct is expected from the Prime Minister," he added. The Congress has on several occasions questioned why the top anti-corruption watchdog had not been appointed despite the passage of the Lokpal Act in 2013. The BJP and the RSS had lent active support to the Lokpal movement led by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal but did not make the appointment on allegedly flimsy excuses for the first four years of its rule. The Supreme Court on February 23 nudged the government on the issue, forcing the Centre to call the first meeting of the selection committee on March 1. Congress communications chief Randeep Surjewala accused the government of deliberately weakening the legal framework required to enforce transparency. Kharge referred to Modi's own attitude as Gujarat chief minister, saying: "Notwithstanding your repeated rhetoric to fight corruption, the BJP government has chosen not to appoint a Lokpal for nearly four years. To anyone familiar with the BJP government's record in not establishing and preserving the office of the Lokayukta in Gujarat, this would not come as a surprise." Please click here to read more.
