The Aam Aadmi Party today criticised the Centre's move to bring an amendment in Lokpal Act and appealed to all opposition parties not to support it.
"AAP opposes government's proposal to scrap the requirement of a quorum in the selection panels for selecting the Lokpal and CBI director," it said in a statement.
"The party appeals to all the opposition parties to oppose any amendment in the existing laws which seek to render them toothless and would lead to government control in these important appointments," it said.
AAP said that the Lokpal became a reality following a two-year-long countrywide struggle in which people from all sections of the society took to roads to protest corruption in high places.
The party will not allow the government to scuttle a fair method of appointment for the anti-graft ombudsman, it added.
