Government still in touch with us: Team Anna

NEW DELHI: a sense of despair was palpable among campaign managers Ana on Monday due to the rapid Gandhi entered its seventh day. Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kiran Bedi, but relentless in its demand the presentation of the bill Jan Lokpal and approval, the government said no one had contacted.

Referring to talks with Umesh Chandra Sarangi, a senior bureaucrat in Maharashtra, and the spiritual leader Bhaiyyu Maharaj, core group leaders said the talks did not matter because these partners have no mandate from the government.

"Sarangi and Maharaj has no mandate from the Prime Minister. If the government is open to debate, as the prime minister has suggested, should be sent to someone who has a mandate," Sisodia said. He said nobody had approached them so far.

Other members also reiterated that there was no response from the government and even other political parties, at official level. "Many members of parliament (MP) and members of legislative assemblies (MLA) have been saying privately that they support us. It is said that his party is not willing, however. I would ask you to convince his party to go with the mandate from the people, or leave the game, "said Kejriwal. He introduced the Ramlila Maidan big meeting in one of those MLA - Mohammad Asif Khan of Rashtriya Janata Dal - which he had left the party because they supported his bill.

"Many say that the parties do not agree with certain conditions presented by us in January Lokpal Bill. They should come here and talk about the items to the public. If the public supports their point of view, we will remove the stitches," he added. Supporters of the crusade against corruption and gathering outside the homes of political leaders to protest and get support for Bill Lokpal Jan. Social activist Swami Agnivesh said the government had not taken the initiative to hold negotiations. "The government should appoint someone to hold talks with representatives of civil society. We do not know who to talk to and when. There is no offer of negotiations on one side of government."

Social activist Medha Patkar went on to suggest that Chavan Maharashtra CMPrithviraj be sent for negotiations. "There is a minister in the Congress Party is not corrupt Prithviraj Chavan -. If Congress is indeed serious about talks, it should send people like him," he said. Referring to Arundhati Roy's comment that the Ana movement is no different from the Maoist revolution, Patkar said that this is a peaceful protest.

Jan Lokpal practical undemocratic: Aruna Roy


New Delhi: Jan Calling Lokpal Anna Hazare of Bill "impractical and difficult," said social activist and National Advisory Council (NAC) member Aruna Roy said that the administration of widespread powers to an unelected body is a "threat to democracy."

"Jan Lokpal bill is unenforceable. It derails the checks and balances between the judicial, executive and other organs of the democratic structure," Roy, 65, who pioneered the right to information (RTI) movement in the country, told IANS in an interview.
Jan Lokpal practical undemocratic: Aruna Roy


"Not that we agree with the government's bill Lokpal. Lokpal legislation must be fully conscious again by activists, legislators and other stakeholders.

"We, of course, support for the democratic right to hold demonstrations Hazare and fast against the government. That is why we condemned the arrest of Hazare" he said.

"But we have a meeting with them, though hold meetings including in meetings and events of common interest," he said.

Asked about the large Hazare has attracted public support, Roy said: "There have been mass rallies in support of NGO-sponsored agitation, as the Narmada Bachao No advertising may be similar, as live TV was not there then .. "

Roy and his fellow activists of the National Campaign for People's Right to Information (NCPRI) have prepared an alternate version of the bill Lokpal, which will be submitted to the Standing Committee of parliament.

Roy, a Magsaysay award winner, said Jan Lokpal bill is an "exercise of a giant, complicated," as they sought to extend from the first minister to a pawn.

"He wants to take the higher courts in your area, which otherwise should have been according to the Judicial Responsibility and Standards Bill, 2010," he said.

It was felt that the suggestion of the dual duties - to curb corruption and repair damage - under the Lokpal Jan was not feasible.

"The Lokpal Jan is a threat to democracy as a powerful and unelected agency can lead to abuse of power and abuse of authority. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely," he joked.

"Mitigating complaint should not be the role of Lokpal, but must be the work of the executive.

"Behold, the wages of hundreds of thousands of workers in the NREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) in Rajasthan have not been paid. But that is due to the shortage of banks and other bureaucratic hurdles, "he said.

The massive organizational settings suggested in Lokpal Jan will lead to corruption and inefficiency, he said.

"You may be able to find 11 members Lokpal integrity, but it is difficult to create a clean implementation of thousands of employees and hold them accountable," said Roy.

The government drafted Lokpal is also deficient in several fronts, he said. Because it excludes cases in state, there can be an investigation into the cases as the scandal of society Adarsh ​​housing scam Commonwealth Games and the illegal mining in Karnataka.

She said that excluding the prime minister and the higher courts were wrong. "This was wrong. No one should be above the law," he said, adding that there must be safeguards. "Since both the Lokpal and the Supreme Court should agree on an investigation against the prime minister."

Roy also suggested that court rules and Accountability Bill should be reviewed to facilitate the adoption of effective measures against the superior courts, while the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) should be strengthened to investigate the minor officials.

Bill whistleblowers protection should also be revised to meet the increasing attacks and threats against RTI activists, he suggested.

"Lokpal Bill should not become a matter of inflexible positions, political rivalries and personality disturbances engine. What we need is an honest and detailed discussion of the legislation of a huge social importance and public concern" he said.

Jan Lokpal Bill: Hazare's struggle dangerous method of protest for democracy?

Anna Hazare Transformation of an "unelected corrupt tyrant" to "pure Gandhi" in the political lexicon of the Congress was swift and telling. The "Facing Anna" political software uploaded by Manish Tiwari his spokesman was quickly dismissed Interior Minister P Chidambaram said a reboot party interactive computer program with a more submissive. Anna resistance than expected. The fight against corruption was always strong resistance, especially those made in power and reaping a good measure of the good do not deserve it at the expense of the people.

Resistance failed because the termites of corruption has reached into all branches of the administration infuriating citizens who remain frustrated with the lack of an effective system to mitigate it. The Supreme Court had been so in 2003 and said: "The tentacles of corruption is spreading rapidly in society corrodes moral character and thus in most cases the country's economic structure. It has assumed alarming proportions in recent times. "

Raja of Manda, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, the end of 1980 rebelled against the Congress to float a National Front to fight corruption, which smelled only when the Bofors scam hit the headlines. A close associate of Rajiv Gandhi had made a fool then Singh's team as a "national disgrace".

A victory Singh became the prime minister and set the stage for coalition governments in India. Experience shows that the fruits of his crusade against corruption was canceled as coalition governments produced some of the most corrupt regimes.

Anna Fast inflexible for passing Jan Lokpal Bill in Parliament reflects the frustration of the people on corruption, which slows the benefits reach those most in need, either for admission to school or get a job. The authenticity of the complaints do not always give sanctity to the method of agitation. Is pressed, regardless of peaceful, institutions have been created through years of operation of the gagging of democracy views? No one can deny the need to correct course when. But courses are not corrected by whipping a frenzy among people with the promise that Jan Lokpal Bill is the only way to nirvana of corruption. What is needed is self-correcting.

Anna crusade against corruption is right. However, the "agree or fast unto death" struggle correct method? Alarmingly, Anna's supporters are increasingly adopting the "O support us or against us argument. Disagree suffocating for the brand is dangerous to democracy and has been in vogue for some time in this country.

If you do not agree with Congress, becomes a Sanghi. If the counters BJP, which is named as a leftist. If the counters of a social activist, becomes part of anti-social elements or the forces of fascism. What they forget is that a citizen has the right to freedom of expression, including the right to dissent.

The other way is equally frustrating. Elected representatives who receive a mandate to govern for five years are equally intolerant of their policies and work being put in doubt. They argue that if people are unhappy they have the right to vote out of office after 5 years. Do you mean by 5 years should not speak out? It was absurd to suggest that Anna and his followers were incited by a foreign hand, BJP, VHP and RSS.

In a democratic set up, institutions must be strengthened, not bypassed or ridiculed. Anna Theme is right, but his method of agitation can not be. Anna team has to look into the need for a wider debate on the theme - the elimination of corruption. At the same time, care must be taken at whipping up a frenzy among young people in expanding the breadth of his aspiration.

Anna team can ensure political freedom, social and economic justice through this turmoil they call a revolution? They can promise that the "revolution" to create an egalitarian social and economic policy in which everyone can enjoy human rights, freedom and liberty? We wish you luck and your team in this task.

City marches with candles in silent support of Anna

Kanpur: To express solidarity with the veteran activist Anna Hazare and Gandhi in his movement, people took out marches candles in different areas of the city on Sunday.

It is worth mentioning here that India against Corruption (IAC), the movement has attracted millions of followers. Despite the crusade against corruption and was from the day the leader of Gandhi sat on a hunger strike in Tihar Jail, its actual impact was visible on Sunday, when townspeople showed their tremendous support for Hazare.

Several BJP and other party leaders and social organizations were participating in a candle March at Motijheel Sunday night. "It was really a joy to see so many supporters of Anna and Jan Lokpal bill. They belonged to different castes and communities, linked by a cause, "said Virendra, a supporter of Anne, who also sat on hunger strike from August 17 to Rajiv Vihar, Motijheel.

Doctors in the Indian Medical Association (IMA) also took a candle in March in the parade on Sunday. Following the same pattern, a group of students also took a candle March Road Mall Phoolbagh. "If a 70 over Gandhi is willing to sacrifice their lives for a clean society, we can not stand aside and watch silently. This is not a drama on the screen, this is the reality of our lives," said Aniket Shukla, a student and follower Anna.

Another group of local social workers and took a huge candle Rawatpur up to Ravemoti Sunday night. One of the seniors participating in the march of candles Rawatpur said that "Indians need to support Anna Hazare. He has given us a ray of hope and we can not let this beam die. If this ray dies, many of us, especially those who are old can not have another chance to fight for our country. "

Day 7: We are open to reasoned debate on Bill Lokpal, says PM

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday not to the side of his response equal to the Lokpal Act, saying at a function in Calcutta that the Government was open to reasoned debate that even though the crowds grew noisy protest zones in different regions.

With the rapid Anna Hazare to enter their seventh day and counting, the cries of an ombudsman strong legislation has grown louder and louder over the weekend, with Monday - a national holiday - is likely to lose the same way.

In Kolkata, Singh reiterated that there was no "magic wand" to solve corruption, a statement suggesting that the government is far from a comprehensive strategy on the phenomenon of Anna.

Singh said the government was doing everything possible to fight corruption and that would come with "systematically" to stop.

"The government is serious about eliminating corruption. Procedures are needed to eliminate strong," he said.
Reacting to the statement by the Prime Minister, Anna's team said the government must approve the project on 30 Jan Lokpal August.

Kiran Bedi, said: "The bill is very weak. Please understand that ... take five minutes for a bill if it comes to your salary. Get the Jan Lokpal bill passed. There are still five or six days left, "he said.

Meanwhile, the spiritual leader Baiyyuji Maharaj, who has emerged as a mediator, said today that the government was trying "very hard" to find a solution.

Indore-based Maharaj, who is known by several senior politicians of Maharashtra, said that the crux of the dialogue was now to what extent either side was willing to concede.

Anna Hazare upset with government mediators: Sources

New Delhi: Anna Hazare is reportedly upset with Government's move to employ mediators to start talks with him on the Jan Lokpal Bill, sources have told CNN-IBN. Spiritual guru Bhayyuji Maharaj and senior Maharashtra bureaucrat UC Sarangi were involved in back-channel talks with Team Anna on Sunday,
According to his close associated Hazare reportedly wants senior Government ministers to hold talks with him because is believes that a strong Lokpal is a national issue.
Union Telecom and HRD Minister Kapil Sibal has reportedly told Bhayyu Maharaj that he is ready to talk with Hazare if other members of Team Anna - Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan and Kiran Bedi - are kept out.
However, Team Anna said that that no one representing the Central Government had contacted them and questioned Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Harish Rawat's statement that the Centre had initiated talks with Hazare and his supporters at various levels to break the deadlock.
Bhayyuji Maharaj said that he will attempt for an open debate on the Lokpal Bill.
"Both sides want a solution. But there needs to be start, which is unfortunately getting delayed. I want both the government and Team Anna to come together for a strong Lokpal bill. Open debate should take place on contentious issue and talks should be transparent and in public domain. Anna's arrest was a mistake," said Bhayyu Maharaj.
As Hazare's fast entered its seventh day on Monday, there are no signs of compromise yet over the issue of which bill - Government's Lokpal Bill or Team Anna's Jan Lokpal Bill - should be passed by Parliament.
Team Anna has also refused Government's offer for four months to discuss and pass the Lokpal Bill.

Anna Tihar leave at 11 am, the head of a Ramlila ground


New Delhi, Aug 19 (PL) Anna Hazare get out of Tihar Jail, where he has been camping out since Tuesday, after his release at 11 am today at the head of the Ramlila ground, which will host indefinte of his fast on course for a strong Lokpal.

"Anna will Tihar around 11 hours," said Arvind Kejriwal partner. Hundreds of followers of Hazare too have been camping outside the Tihar premises since Tuesday, when anti-corruption activist was taken to jail after his arrest.

After two days of tough negotiations, the conflict between Gandhi and the government ended early today with both sides agree that Hazare held fast for 15 days in the Ramlila ground subject to certain conditions.

Hazare received from the Delhi Police's spacious Ramlila ground for rapid change of the smaller Park JP. Significantly, the team Hazare made it clear that his fast would not be a quick death and will be on hunger strike until only his health allows.

Hazare 73 years of age in a video recorded inside the Tihar Jail, said the protests "all my brothers and sisters, elders and children" is giving a "new energy" for fasting.

He said people were fed up with corruption and the government should not take long for a strong Lokpal bill.

Hazare, who is on the third day of fasting in Tihar Jail, also said he is "tired" at all.

Hazare Impact: 2 panchayats Pune APMC bribery survey again

Two villages in the district of Pune are setting a great example of how to fight corruption in action and not just shouting slogans and waving flags.

Gram panchayat members of the village in Shirur Taluka Jambut, Pune district have decided to return the money they received from a candidate to challenge thefor Market Committee of Agricultural Products (APMC) polls to cast votes in his favor.

During a meeting gram panchayat, the village head Balkrushna Kad said: "It is the first step if you fight against corruption in our level."
Other members immediately decided to return the money he received from his vows, but for the APMC election, held recently. They have decided to use the money to develop the village school.

Inspired by this movement, the gram panchayat and cooperative members of society of the near-Yemai Kavathe town also decided to collect the bribe money and use it to rebuild the temple in the village.

The last days of Anna Hazare was a movie theater, amazing and almost surreal.

It all started with high claims by ministers and spokespersons of the Congress that Gandhi, 74 years old and his small group of advisers were dressed in corruption and had no right to take away the power of Parliament (read Congress and its cronies), went on to threaten action against all the law into their own hands and trying to blackmail the government by threatening to go to a quick death to (wonder what Gandhi would have to say about it!) and within 24 hours to face the wrath of the people of India to change the language of "Hazare" to "Anna Hazareji" and tracking to meet your demands.

What a pathetic performance by the government. And what an amazing affirmation of the strength of the people who not only challenged the arrogance of those in power, but successfully reversed the pyramid of power within hours.
Article continues below the advertisement ...


To understand why Congress did what he did - Hazare and his team first attack, then move them from the hunger strike and then arrest him at his residence in the early hours of the morning, and then sent to jail Tihar - will be needed to understand the character of a party that has operated under a dynasty for decades.

Dynasties survive in servility, and to ensure that there is disagreement, increasingly authoritarian through a syndrome of the chicken and the egg, which gives birth to another.

Dynasties also generate mediocrity to reward loyalty over intelligence and merit. There is the belief of being better than others, and therefore encourage the arrogance, even frown on dissent. And above all, dynasties as a result of the combination of the above to lose touch with the people, governing themselves and their cronies, not the people in general.

All this and more has been on display for years, but more so in the days leading to the arrest of Anna Hazare and subsequent release. The Congress and its government was totally unable to understand the mood of the people in charge of a cabinet of politicians who have never met people in an election. Most of them are in the position because of the Nehru-Gandhi family, and spend all their time on pleasing the last to serve the people.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, chaired the incredible drama of errors, the Congress heir Rahul Gandhi at his side.

The missiles Congress - in the form of P Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal and Manish Tiwari - broke with the result that when the people took to the streets in anger, all became the target of criticism. And in the fury of the people, the government dragged back into the woodwork, desperately trying to undo all he had done.

The first sign of this concern was the almost apologetic press conferences and even pompous in the hands of powerful ministers who have taken extreme pleasure in the months in issuing threats against all those concerned and in accordance with government policies.

There was a show of the interior minister insists that Hazare had been arrested by the Delhi police, and that while he was well informed, which was certainly not in charge of the operation. Incredible! The day began with the arrest of Hazare ended with authorities Tihar asked to leave and accept each of its terms. The pomp that had emerged from the voices of Sibals and Tiwaris of Congress, who tried to get to the crisis he had created.

The story is no longer under arrest Hazare, but the impact of his arrest and release. The Congress, if at all able to read the letter of the people, see the writing on the wall and start counting your days. The anger against the government has spread throughout the country, and is almost certain that this movement are linked to the very important and vital struggle for the land that is happening in several states.

This is essential to give real substance to the movement, especially as land acquisition by the government to the private sector and the real estate mafia is one of the greatest acts of corruption in this country. It is encouraging that Hazare in his comments before his arrest, made this link and you can only expect that the movement is embracing the ongoing struggles across the country.

It is also clear that the political class is already feeling the pressure. The SP has been ambivalent to the issue of corruption for obvious reasons, came out in support of Hazare. The Mayawati Government in UP took action against a corrupt minister even though he had defended in the assembly. The Left and the BJP are on board this movement of people.

The regional parties, including allies of the Congress will not be able to swim against the current now as they know the dangers of being swept away, despite not wanting to, will have to follow people who just needed a catalyst to express repressed anger with the governments of the day. State governments are under pressure and with one of the largest protests taking place in Bangalore, where the BJP has been a free ride on the rollercoaster corruption.

All this, if you follow the logical course, will make the UPA unstable and weak. The current congressional leadership will not be able to stem the tide, as it lacks the brain's resources to do so. People in power and it is unlikely that government will be able to function as it has done over the past eight years. There is tremendous anger against the government's attempt to remove the democratic space and peoples right to protest. The government, of course, has become little monkeys Gandhi, unable to hear, see or speak.

Hazare Tihar leave at 11 am today: Kejriwal

Civil society activist Anna Hazare get out of Tihar jail Ramlila ground around 11 am Friday, where he will continue his fast with a strong bill against corruption, his aide said Arvind Kejriwal.

"He (Hazare) off the meeting once it gets out of jail and out of a Ramlila ground.'d Come out of Tihar jail around 11 am," Kejriwal told a news channel.
"Crowds gathered to support Anna Hazare are spiritual, and there have been incidents of violence so far in the country at political rallies easily turn violent," said Kejriwal.

"We have asked all our supporters that if they see someone with an unusual behavior, you should contact the police immediately," he said.

Hazare, 74, was scheduled to begin his fast a stronger bill Lokpal JP Park in the area of ​​the ICO Tuesday.

Delhi Police imposed certain conditions before the protest could afford. Hazare however refused to accept, after which police detained him and his staff Tuesday.
He was sent to Tihar and was later released on Tuesday night but refused to leave jail until he can perform the fast without any conditions. Hazare is expected to continue his fast Ramlila ground Friday.

Corruption India: Indian-Americans come out in support of Anna Hazare

WASHINGTON: Coming out in support of Anna Hazare, Indian-Americans have called on the government of India to take serious measures to curb the menace of corruption in the country.

"We want to eliminate corruption NRIs in India. We support the efforts of Anna Hazare to eradicate corruption, the law is passed Lokpal black money and declare as national assets," said Kendra Dnyanoba, a yoga teacher in Pennsylvania.

Of all the protests in India in recent times, this is the most legitimate and grass root level, which can change the destiny of the country, said Rangarajan, a student at the University of Maryland.

Another student, Umang Agarawal said they are sending an email from the Supreme Court in mass directly to take action suo motu and save the nation.

"More than the fight against the Indians against corruption, it seems the government is fighting against people who fight against corruption. This will be one of the defining moments in the history of India," Jha said Vibhash, a student doctorate at the University of Maryland.

Indian-Americans in and around Washington for the third day held a demonstration outside the embassy of India here. Similar events in support of Hazare was reported across the country as well.

A large number of American Indians held a similar protest outside the consulate of India in Houston.

"We are in Houston NRI feel connected with the movement in India and are expressing their support in various forms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, websites, in addition to its presence in local meetings around the apartment club houses, parks and other public places in the community, "said Raghava R Solipuram.

Shocked and saddened by the arrest of Hazare and his supporters, non-resident Indians for Secular and Harmonious India (NRI-SAHI) said the India-Americans support the demand for equipment for Anna to each under the Lok Pal Bill Jan .

"We demand that the government of India to fulfill its promise and enact effective anti-corruption Bill," the NRI-SAHI.

In a statement, Atlanta-based U.S. Hindu Alliance strongly condemned the measures taken by the government of India against the peaceful and democratic movement against corruption led by Hazare.

"The right to free speech and the right to protest peacefully have been won by the people of India after a long struggle involving the slaughter of millions of its inhabitants.

"Hindus around the world can not remain silent spectators when the government takes away the fruits of liberation movement in India and attempts to create a policy environment that has all the characteristics of a police state," he said.

Anna Hazare refuses to come out of Tihar jail


NEW DELHI: Times Now reports say that Anna Hazare has fallen for the government to release. He demanded an unconditional permission from the government to continue his fast indefinitely in JP Park.

Previously, Hazare and some of his closest collaborators were arrested and were prevented to go ahead with their indefinite fast demanding a "strong" Lokpal in defiance of restraining orders, an action that was attacked by political parties and sparked protests supporters across the country.

?

The Gandhi age of 73 years was collected at 7:30 am in an apartment where he was staying in Mayur Vihar in East Delhi after he refused to be persuaded by the officials of the Delhi Police, who urged him not to carry out fast, as it would constitute a violation of the orders of prohibition was imposed last night.

Support pours Anna nationwide

Anna continues her fast indefinite Tihar Jail for the introduction of Jan Lokpal bill in parliament. Let it be reiterated that the demand to hold a park or Ramlila Maidan JP is not the central theme, such as fasting indefinite is only a means to an end. The ultimate goal, thousands of people on the street also claims a strong anti-corruption law - the bill Jan Lokpal. Jan We Lokpal Bill to be presented in Parliament as we realize that the Standing Committee can not alter the scope of the present government introduced Bill Lokpal much. Moreover, the recommendations of the Standing Committee are not binding on the government. Therefore, even through the present course of parliamentary action, it appears that a fair discussion on the topic Lokpal Bill will be possible. So, Anna indefinite demand remains firm, the Jan Lokpal bill must also be tabled in Parliament.

Repeatedly condemn the statements that we want the 'my way or high way "or that we are rebels. Rather, we believe that the opposite is true. It is the government insisting on' my way or the highway", ignoring completely public opinion that has descended on the streets in support of Anna Hazare Shri and Jan Lokpal bill.

Anna Hazare accept offers Delhi Police to fast for 14 days

NEW DELHI: In a breakthrough night in the deadlock between Anna Hazare and the Delhi Police on the duration of their protest against corruption, Gandhi accepted the offer within 14 days after the hunger strike on Thursday Ramlila the Maidan.

"Anna has accepted the DP (Delhi Police), leave for two weeks (fast). Anna now is 15:00 Ramlila ground in the post," Hazare's assistant Kiran Bedi Twitter.

The breakthrough came after almost 30 minutes Hazare meeting assistants Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia had with the Delhi Police commissioner BK Gupta's residence in Chanakyapuri it shortly after midnight.

Bedi said the police commissioner gave permission for 14 days of protest 73 years of age Hazare in the Field of Ramlila, after which, along with Bhushan, and Kejriwal Sisodia returned to Tihar Jail, where the social activist has been staying put since his arrest and release on Tuesday to inform him of the offer.

Later, Bedi said on the micro-blogging site that the Delhi Police "to eliminate the unacceptable conditions and offers 15-day permit. Anna accepted there."

"Anna has accepted the DP for two weeks leave. Anna will now be in Ramlila 15:00 grd message," he said.

An announcement to this effect was also an associate Hazare outside Tihar Jail, which was greeted with lusty cheers by hundreds of followers of Gandhi.

"Anna has been won. We will contact Jan Lokpal Bill," one protester said.

Anna's team met with the Commissioner of Delhi Police a new initiative to end the stalemate in the duration of the protest of Gandhi by a strong Lokpal during which the police offered two weeks leave of the hunger strike.

While the Delhi Police had gone down and down almost all the conditions that had sought to impose in protest Hazare, the only point of friction between the two sides has been the duration of the hunger strike.

"We met with the police commissioner to help meet the deadlines," said Bedi.

Kejriwal, who was with Hazare in Tihar, even after his release, Bhushan, Sisodia Bedi and led from the prison, where he held a series of meetings with Hazare to meet with officials from the police.

Police, who was arrested Tuesday in Hazare and his colleagues in the apprehension of breach of peace and thwarted his plans agitation on Wedensday and fell down most of the conditions included the limit on the number of protesters who can pick up in place.

In fact, the police also offered Ramlila Maidan, a space larger than the JP Park was preferred originally by Hazare, protest.

Earlier in the day, Hazare has intensified its war of attrition with the government refuses to come out of Tihar jail in spite of raising the Delhi Police is behind in the various conditions it had imposed on his indefinite fast in support of a strong Lokpal .
