Anna Hazare has been attacked from all sides by the members of ruling Congress over the Jan Lokpal Issue. The war words has taken the form of a big battle. Here we present some of the statements made by UPA persons.
The BJP is supporting Anna Hazare to divert public attention from the fact that Sangh Parivar supporters have been arrested for terrorist activities,” Digvijaya Singh
“What has Hazare done for the country? Congress will not be scared of him.” Beni Prasad Verma
Laws cannot be made at Jantar Mantar. I have no hesitation in saying that Annaji is insulting Parliament- Congress Spokesperson Rashid Alvi
This type of attempt is to bring unnecessary pressure on Parliament and democracy,” Congress General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi
Jantar Mantar is like a public meeting where people go and make a ‘bhashan’. Ultimately the result will be zero, where in a place like Parliament, there will be a proper debate. Members of Parliament from various political parties will give their views and ultimately Parliament wisdom will decide the Lokpal Bill. – Union Minister of State, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions and Prime Minister’s Office, V Narayanasamy
Now here are few comments from Team Anna
Why was the Prime Minister a mute spectator when people turned out in huge numbers at the Ramlila Ground.” asked Anna Hazare
We will watch Parliament debates carefully, see what Opposition does. We have seen when Opposition is united, they win. And secondly, what ruling party does because they know they are losing out a lot,” – Team Anna member Kiran Bedi
