Anna Hazare to sit on fast tomorrow at Rajghat
New Delhi: Setting the stage for a fresh showdown with the government, Anna Hazare and his supporters will go ahead with their protest at Rajghat tomorrow despite Delhi Police refusing permission for their day-long fast.
A senior police official today said they have refused permission for the fast at the dharna hotspot–Jantar Mantar– while citing prohibitory orders at the site after the police action against Baba Ramdev in Ramlila Maidan on Sunday.
Sources said Delhi Police has already informed Hazare’s team about the refusal of permission. Police had on Sunday imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC in Jantar Mantar and other areas in New Delhi district following the midnight police action in Ramlila Maidan where Ramdev and his supporters were on an indefinite protest on black money and corruption issues.
However, activist Arvind Kejriwal said they will go ahead with the “very peaceful” protest and court arrest if police obstructed them. “No one can stop Anna Hazare from protesting tomorrow,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Shanti Bhushan, who wrote to Delhi Police on behalf of Hazare-led team seeking permission for the protest, said they were putting police on notice that they intend to go ahead with the fast and any attempt to prevent the people from reaching Jantar Mantar would be viewed as a serious violation of fundamental democratic rights of the people.
He said Hazare’s call was for a fast and this should not lead to a law and order situation.
The veteran activist Hazare has already said that he’ll certainly go on ahead with the fast and he’s ready to give court arrest if required.

Thnks to u for showing such a fruitefull deabte with Anna ji Hope will comtinue in future . Kejriwal is rht
इतना अच्छा प्रोग्राम देने के लिए बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद .नेता 5 वर्ष के लिए चुना जाता है जिससे वह अपने आप को पांच साल के लिए राजा समझने लगता है . मेरा सुझाव है की हर वर्ष में नेता के काम का हिसाब लेना चहिये , उसके area की जनता साल भर में नेता के लिए वोट दे की क्या वह उस नेता के काम से खुश है या नहीं ( yes or no). इससे नेता पूरे समय सेवक बनकर रहेगा , और इस तरह के चुनाव में खर्च भी नहीं होगा . अगर जनता का बहुमत नेता को न पसंद करता है तो दुबारा चुनाव करवाना चाहिए .
Cudos to Sudhir for inviting Anna Hazare,Kejriwal & other civil society members from different fields to discuss Lokpal & other corruption issues.
When one of the girl from the youth participants asked Sudhir regarding Media’s unbiased reporting stand,it meant this only that apart from reporting,you are a citizen of this country as well, hence have certain responsibility towards the country.As you have provided such a nice platform for fair discussion today.Thank you very much & wishes for your continued support,not to the individuals but to the ’cause’.
Apko aisa hi Programme dikhana chahiye. Baki channels ke programme se ye bahut accha tha. Is samay desh ko aise hi programme ki jaroorat hai. Is se public me ek nayi asha jagegi aur o iske mahatwa ko samjhegi. Bahut bahut Dhanyavad !
