Lokpal Bill Compaign

By
Anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare has accepted 20 out of the 22 terms set by Delhi Police for allowing his fast here from Aug 16, said his team member Kiran Bedi Saturday, blaming the government for the curbs.The social activist could not make it to the venue due to some health issues. Anna, however, made up for his absence by addressing the gathering through his mobile phone. Dr Kiran Bedi and Swami Agnivesh were also present in the gathering.

The villagers have been protesting against lowest compensation rates in the district, despite it bordering Gurgaon.The farmers complain that while their land, which was acquired a year ago, fetched them a mere compensation of Rs 16 lakh per acre, the revised land rates award compensation of Rs 55 lakh per acre in the neighbouring Jakhopur village in the Gurgaon district.

Hazare and his associates were arrested under CrPC sections 107 and 151. Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, was taken into custody from a residential area in Mayur Vihar before he was to proceed to the venue of his fast at J.P. Park, where prohibitory orders are in place.

Anna has been awarded Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri and if the government is doubting his integrity, then they should take back all the honours as the first criteria for such awards is integrity, said Bedi.

Thousands of activists staged a march in Pune, a large number of protestors started a gathering near Dadar in Mumbai. An agitation is planned at Azad Maidan in Mumbai later on Tuesday where prominent activists, including Medha Patkar, are expected to congregate.Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh said efforts were made in the morning to persuade Hazare to give up his proposed fast, but he refused to relent.

Bedi said that Delhi Police were one of the most experienced force in the country and had the maximum number of personnel to handle any kind of demonstration and protest.Soon after the police order imposing restrictions on Hazare’s fast, he Friday night shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, terming the police move “undemocratic”.
