Singhvi, who met Vice-President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari apparently on the issue of seeking one more extension to table the report in Parliament, said the “procedural extension” sought for translation of the report and its binding should not be termed as a delay.
“If the report is adopted tomorrow, then very soon, in the next two to three days, it will be tabled in Parliament,” he told reporters after meeting Ansari.
He said perhaps no other Parliamentary committee has completed a report on such a “vast and complicated” subject in two and a half months.
The Lokpal Bill was referred to the Standing Committee on Personnel and Law and Justice in August this year and given three months time to submit its report. On November 9, the committee's deadline on submission of report on Lokpal Bill was extended till December 7.
He said the final report will reflect the sense of the committee as well as the dissents given by the members on Lokpal Bill.
To a question on Team Anna rejecting the draft recommendations of his panel, Singhvi said the Committee was writing the report in national interest and not to please “anyone or everyone”.
“The report is not to satisfy any individual or organisation or all individuals and organisations... if you don't agree, it's your problem,” he said.

Atleast, by this report Mr Singvi will get patronage of Gandhi family. I am not sure if he did this in any national interest. What interest motivated him to call urgent meeting for removal of "C" and "D" category personnel from Lokpal??
Congress for the last almost 6 decades could not do it or did not do it. Thus singvi is right that he was the only one who really work hard in the present govt institutiion
... because Sonia and Rahul are THE nation.
Still the bill is being delayed to table for two days, than the committee´s deadline was extended on to 7 December, in accordance with the Parliamentary committee chairman Singhvi´s pronouncement, that, it will be taking two to three more days yet.
