In an apparent criticism of Anna Hazare and his protest for Lokpal Bill, NAC member Aruna Roy said “people cannot make a law” and it had to be done by a drafting committee. “Law has to be looked at it detail. If you change one
comma or one fullstop a right becomes no right. People can demand a law, people can say what kind of principle should be in a law... But law cannot be drafted by the people and we can’t do the rubber stamp either. We have to set up a drafting committee and it should draft a law,” Ms Roy said. Referring to reported remarks of Arvind Kejriwal that “if Anna says it is the right thing, people will rubber stamp it,” Roy said, “Our argument is that no one should rubber stamp.” — PTI
