The Bharatiya Janata Party, Akali Dal, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India-Marxist and Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal have clearly told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to show flexibility.
None of the above parties have recommended that Jan Lokpal bill be introduced in Parliament.
BJP leader Arun Jaitley said, "The BJP wants the government to respect the provisions of Jan Lokpal bill."
During the all-party meeting Jaitley said that the government should show flexibility and that if the situation demanded government should withdraw its bill.
However, neither Sushma Swaraj nor Jaitley said that the Jan Lokpal bill should be introduced in Parliament after withdrawal of the government's bill, which is the precise demand of Anna Hazare and his supporters.
The final resolution categorically said, "Due consideration should be given to the Jan Lokpal Bill so that the final draft of the Lokpal Bill provides for a strong and effective Lokpal".
