Salman Kurshid who is among the more sober elements in the central cabinet has said that protesting against the government's Lokpal Bill is an action not against the government but against the proceedings of Parliament. This creates a false impression that the government respects the parliament. Truth to tell, the government is unwilling even to take any action against the perpetrators of dastardly attack on the parliament. Well, Salman Kurshid has every right to play politics. He need not trivialise the proposed fast by Anna Hazare against the teethless bill approved by the cabinet.
Manmohan Singh has said that he prefers inclusion of prime minister under the Lokpal, but he defers to the cabinet decision against it. He has become a joker in the process.

Kursheed has distorted the facts completely. Anna is not against the supremacy of legislature. All that he is demanding is that the Lokpal Bill being introduced by the government should not be toothless. Otherwise it becomes a mockery of the political process. Kapil Sibal's devious logic that Anna and his team can take up with the Standing Committee is a deliberate attempt to nullify any attempt to cleanse the system.
