New Delhi: Opposing the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) made it clear that it will not support any 'tampering' with the federal structure of the country.
The TMC leader in Rajya Sabha Sukhendu Roy said, "Many legal experts have already expressed their views before Standing Committee that bringing this Bill will be unconstitutional and anti federal."
While addressing the Rajya Sabha Roy said that the Lokpal Bill in its current form will affect the autonomy of the state. He demanded that the clause related to the Lokayuktas in the Bill be deleted.
Roy said if the image of the Chief Minister is affected then the image of the country is also affected.
Roy further said that TMC has submitted many amendments and wanted deletion of many parts of the Bill.
The TMC leader said that the autonomy of states can't be compromised at any cost.
He said that TMC has requested the Government to delete chapter three in the Lokpal Bill.
