Anna has invited the leaders of all political parties to participate in an open debate to state their stands on the Lokpal Bill.

NDA leaders Arun Jaitley and Sharad Yadav and CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat are expected to participate in the debate.

"The debate at Jantar Mantar will make the roots of democracy stronger," Bedi said.

"This is the way the country should debate and listen to people and the politicians and then finally come up with the bill. This is direct democracy," she added.
