Bring strong Lokpal Bill, Anna tells Govt

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, July 30 � Warning that a �wave of protest� is building up, Anna Hazare today asked the government to bring a strong Lokpal Bill or quit while his team softened its stand on yoga guru Ramdev whom they attacked yesterday for sharing dais with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, reports PTI.

After an impressive turnout yesterday, the morning crowd at the fast venue of Jantar Mantar here was small but it grew to around 2,000 in the afternoon.

As Hazare�s fast entered the second day and his aides� sixth day, Team Anna said the government will have to send a messenger to the 74-year-old activist if it wanted to resolve the issue.

They also came with a bizarre statement during the day by appearing to see a conspiracy in the collapse of the northern power grid, alleging that new developments are happening as Hazare is sitting on an indefinite fast.

A group of Hazare supporters also staged a protest outside Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar�s residence here.
