Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Saturday said his party has told activist Anna Hazare’s camp that proper safeguards must be put in if the Prime Minister were to be brought under the ambit of the proposed Lokpal. Jaitley said the BJP has refused to accept Hazare camp’s demand to include the Prime Minister unconditionally, saying a lot of conditions and safeguards are required so that people don’t keep harassing the Prime Minister.

“The Prime Minister doesn’t only talk corruption over the phone. There’s a lot of serious stuff he talks,” Jaitley told The Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta on Walk the Talk on NDTV 24X7.

Jaitley said his party has also conveyed to the activist they don’t agree with the concept of empowering the Lokpal or the Lokayukta to tap telephones. But the BJP leader insisted his party supported key issues like retaining an independent selection process and providing autonomy and independence to the investigation agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation. “These are areas on which you cannot allow it to be watered down. Incidental provisions of the Bill, words being changed here and there, provisions being altered, these are all an art of the possible, it can be done,” Jaitley said. He added he and his colleagues have spoken about it at the all-party meeting and BJP parliamentarians have submitted their views in writing as a note of dissent to the government.
