Anna voilent on Delhi Police demands

Anna is planning this agitation as the government has turn down the draft of the Jan Lokpal Bill which his team has given to the government instead the Standing Committee of the government has placed a draft which they have drafted in the Parliament for approval. “It is a fact that the present UPA government is the most corrupt government since independence which the people of India are talking about at large,” Anna said. He further added, “The government is trying all sort of tactics to suppress his voice against corruption as they have done with Baba Ramdev”.

BJP is accusing the UPA government of trying to crush the Anna and his men in an autocratic manner. To fight and raise voice against corruptions is a right of a individual and the government cannot stop it.

Mr. P Chidambaram the Union Home Minister termed the protest of Anna Hazare as unjustified and extra-parliamentary as his government has already placed the draft on the floor of the Parliament for discussion.
