Some of the professed Patna based Annaites chose to burn the copies of the bill on 15.11.2011 when in fact the proposed bill is still in the process of being given a final shape. When some of the salient features of the proposed bill came into public domain earlier, Team Anna felt disappointed and stated its disappointment in public, evoking Nitish retort. Nitish subsequently clarified that the bill is still at the nascent stage and fresh ideas wherever they are received from are being given consideration and went on to declare that his Lokayukta will have a probing wing of its own. We had burnt Lokpal bill in August this year because that bill was presented in the Lok Sabha by the government. But this bill is not presented in the Assembly by the government and the bill is yet to take a formal shape. Should one burn something that is yet to be born? Will it not be a case of foeticide? The professed Patna based Annaites have already committed this sin. Foeticide is not just a sin but also a crime.
