At the meeting, the draft bill and notes on the disagreements expressed by the joint drafting committee's two sides - the government and the civil society representatives - will be circulated, the sources added.

A meeting of leaders of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) members Tuesday, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, decided to hold discussions with all political parties on the bill.
