Centre won't interfere with Delhi Police decision

“The Home Ministry will not interfere in the decision of Delhi Police. We have nothing to do with it,” the official said.

A Home Ministry official said the Delhi Police took the decision of denying permission to Team Anna to stage the protest since they refused to comply with its set conditions which are applicable to any group which wanted to stage any protest in the national capital.

The Centre also thinks that Delhi Police are capable of dealing with any situation arising out of Hazare’s announcement that he would go ahead with the protest despite the refusal of the permission.

"If they (Team Anna) decide to go ahead with their programme defying the order, law will take its own course,” the official said.
