And moreover option of judicial review is always there to see that no institution becomes rogue.And various earlier versions of lokpal have said that prime minister should be there including the previous draft prepared last year by govt. i think our constitution provides for various checks and balances to ensure that no organ of govt exceeds its jurisdiction.ANKUR YADAVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541497536280454329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4636937987534149950.post-75911492730277903992011-06-30T18:46:16.708+05:302011-06-30T18:46:16.708+05:30Furthur the belief of common man on PM is very imp...Furthur the belief of common man on PM is very important ....probing charges against him while in office may create unwanted situations.
