Making it clear that his dharna at the Ramlila Maidan here would not end even after he calls off his indefinite fast, Anna, during his evening speech, declared that the protest  will continue till other demands are met by the government.

 According to insiders,  Team Anna was expecting the BJP and other opposition parties to support the Jan Lokpal bill in the all-party meet held on Wednesday. However, the opposition failed to meet their expectations causing a heartburn to Anna’s team.
“Why are you keeping quiet? You should say that we will support this bill and ask the government to bring it. But now everyone has joined hands because they fear that power will slip out of their hands,” said the Gandhian.

Anna reacted sharply against the entire political class and alleged that they were spending public money on their comforts and the nation was forced to take loans for its development. Embittered by the ups and downs in the dialogue between the government and the India Against Corruption, he questioned the concern of the prime minister towards his health and asked, “You say, you are worried. Now, he is saying that we are worried but for ten days you were not worried. It went on like this.”

‘Fast will end, not dharna’
In the event of a Parliament resolution on Friday accepting his three demands— bringing entire bureaucracy under the purview of Lokpal, appointing Lokayukta in states and making citizen’s charter – Hazare will end his fast, but he is to continue his dharna till other demands of Jan Lokpal bill are met. The  Gandhian made it clear that dharna will continue at the protest venue even after he ends his fast.

“We have the permission for this ground till September 3, so we can continue till then. Dharna will go on after that also.

There should be court arrests and demonstrations before MPs’ houses across the country,” Anna told to his supporters.

“I have sent a message to the prime minister. If you want to pass Jan Lokpal bill then start  discussion tomorrow morning. I have three demands. If there is support (for them), then I can consider ending the fast,” the veteran social activist said.
