New Delhi: More political developments continued to take place after Team Anna announced the “failure” of an All Party discussion meeting to decide on future action. A special session only meant for the new Lokpal Bill in whatever form is on the anvil, to confront Anna’s men who are not MPs. there bill cannot get into Parliament on its own.
There is also a possibility of terminating the services of tainted Government Officers, caught in corrupt episodes one a case is filed against them in courts. Thus the accused government staff will dismissed from service, when enquiry starts against them in any High Court or the Apex Court. But both these provisions have to be incorporated yet.
Anna addressed his followers on the midnight of Wednesday (August 24) expressing fears that he could be forcibly arrested and taken away by Police anytime from Ramlila.
He told his followers not to stop the Police on duty. He asked them to surround the Parliament circular building, get themselves arrested to fill the jails and storm the MPs mansions and blocks of residence.
He reiterated that India was governed by “coloured Englishmen” (brownies) and (Congress) dictators, after the whites left India and the way the Government has responded to their demands so far on behalf of voting colours, Hazare roared.
Hazare advised his disciples, not to resort to any violence, when he was arrested. He said he knew what went on in the mind of the “ruling clique”. If you prevent my arrest, huge doses of violence will be added to you. The Government is out to break the common people’s movement under one pretext or the other and to do that the rulers only await violent deeds from the other side, Hazare revealed.
If my followers resorted to counter violence, I could never bear this pain, he warned the listeners.
Kiran Bedi who has friends among Delhi Police, told Anna that he would not be dragged away, unless doctors first certified that his life was in danger really.
The Government has challenged the Team Anna’s talk on the “reverses suffered” by Congress rulers in the All Party meeting. Pranab Mukherjee and Salman Khurshid have condemned the Anna Team “for twisting facts” on the failure of Wednesday night talks among various parties.
The Government has taken the view that the Hazare’s Jan Lokpal Bill has to be placed before Parliamentary Standing Committee, before discussing it in Parliament ever. No assurance was given on Tuesday or Wednesday for the Jan Lokpal bill to come into Parliament. Varun G. has not tabled it as a private (MP’s) bill either (last week). Pranab denied any state’s own responsibility for Hazares’s health, but he should end his fasting soon he added.
