New Delhi, Dec 15 (IANS): Claiming that all efforts were being made to reach a consensus on the Lokpal bill, the Congress Thursday said there was no need to hurry through the legislation.
"There is no need to hurry as attempts are made (by the government) to harmonise and reconcile divergent views," Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said at a party briefing.
Regarding Anna Hazare's threat to go on another fast if an effective Lokpal bill was not passed in parliament's current session, Tewari said there was no need for that.
About the allegations that Home Minister P. Chidambaram favoured a Delhi hotel by withdrawing police cases against it, Tewari said there was no need to react as the ministry had issued a rejoinder.
