Whistleblowers' Bill likely to be brought in Rajya Sabha today - NewsX

After its passage in Lok Sabha sometime back, the much-talked about whistleblowers' protection bill is expected to be brought in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday but with certain amendments to keep national security matters away from controversy. An indication to this effect was given by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal on Monday. The move follows reports that the government and BJP have agreed to keep matters related to national security away from controversy, by excluding them from the key anti-graft whistleblowers' protection and Lokpal bills pending in Parliament. The government is likely to move an official amendment to the whistleblowers' protection bill when it is introduced in Rajya Sabha.For more log onto- http://newsx.com
