Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has invited Team Anna members to discuss about enacting a strong Lokayukta law in the state on the lines of Uttarakhand.

The chief minister and Team Anna members would deliberate upon the implementation of Jan Lokayukta which provides for a strong protection for whistle-blowers, a Team Anna release said in New Delhi on Thursday. The meeting will take place on Friday.

Team Anna said they would also demand for effective action in all the complaints of illegal mining in the state.

The invitation for discussions comes after Team Anna members led by Sharad Singh Kumre demanded immediate passage of the Jan Lokayukta Bill in the state on the lines of the one enacted in Uttarakhand.

Kumre along with other member Vipin Kothari had sat on a three-day fast to press for Jan Lokayukta in the state.

The fast that began on March 13 was called off Wednesday night after an official from the MP government invited Kumre for talks with Chouhan, the release said.
