New Delhi, Nov 29 (IANS): Expressing unhappiness over the draft Lokpal bill prepared by the parliamentary panel, Team Anna members said Tuesday it was useless if the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the lower bureaucracy was kept out of its ambit.

"The draft, as I am being told, provides for the CBI to be kept under government control. If the CBI is under government control, then the Lokpal will remain an empty tin box," Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal told reporters here.

Kejriwal was also upset over the Parliamentary Standing Committee's draft not including the lower bureaucracy in the ambit of the Lokpal. "The sense of the house adopted by parliament clearly said that lower bureaucracy and the citizens' charter will be included. We request that the sense of the house be respected," he said.

He insisted that all government funded NGOs should be brought under the Lokpal as massive corruption was prevalent in NGOs.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on law and justice examining the Lokpal bill is expected to finalise its report Nov 30-Dec 1 and submit its recommendations to parliament in the first week of December.

Another Team Anna member Kiran Bedi warned of a mass movement if the government went back on the commitment given to Anna Hazare.
