Opposing the Lok Pal Bill, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut today said his party is against the creation of the ombudsman as it is "above" Parliament.
"We are against corruption. We want to wipe out corruption and we have supported Anna Hazare's agitation against corruption," the Sena MP told reporters outside Parliament House here.
However, Raut said Shiv Sena is totally opposed to Lok Pal. "There should not be anything above Parliament. We are against Lok Pal and have opposed it."
Asked about his party's stand on voting in the House, he said, "whether there will be voting or not one has to see. It depends what happens in the House."
