Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has offered a new formula to end the Lokpal deadlock with Team Anna.

Replying to the debate on corruption in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister said the government is ready to debate all versions of the Lokpal Bill in circulation at present.

The PM said the aim was to give the country a strong Lokpal and for that the government was ready to involve all sections in discussions.

The PM said alongwith the Jan Lokpal Bill the bills prepared by Aruna Roy's NCPRI and Jaiprakash Narain (of Hyderabad) will also be debated by the Parliament.

After the debate, the strongest points of all the bills could be forwarded to the standing committee for its consideration.

The PM said he hadn't given full thought to the feasibility of his proposal but urged the Speaker and the MPs to give it thought and decide if this could be a via media for reaching a solution with Anna and his team.

Manmohan Singh once again reached out to Anna Hazare and urged him to end his fast immediately.

Heaping praise on Anna Hazare, Manmohan Singh said, "I respect his idealism, I applaud him and I salute him."

Urging Anna Hazare to end his fast he said that Hazare had made his point and his life was precious and valuable for the nation.

The PM's appeal was seconded by the leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, who also appealed to Hazare to end his fast and assured him that the opposition would ensure that the govt passed a strong Lokpal Bill.

The Lok Sabha passed a resolution urging Hazare to end the fast and later the Speaker made an appeal to this effect on behalf of the House.

Earlier, the PM accused the opposition of making personal attacks on him on the issue of corruption.

He said he was ready for a probe by the leader of the Opposition into his assets to see if he had benefited from corruption in his personal life.
