"Consensus eluded the Parliamentary panel on Lokpal on the issue of including the prime minister within the ambit of the ombudsman with a majority opposing the suggestion, saying it could lead to complications while some others favoured it with riders.
While some members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice felt the Prime Minister should be brought under the Lokpal, others felt this should be avoided.
A middle path was suggested by some other members who said the prime minister can be brought within the ambit of the ombudsman but with some riders like excluding his duties relating to external affairs and internal security, among others."
