'We are United', Reiterates Team Anna; Visits Hazare


Ralegan Siddhi (Maharashtra), Oct 30 (IANS): Putting up a united front, Team Anna Sunday said there were no differences among its core committee members and accused the Congress of trying to create rifts through a smear campaign.

Team Anna members Sunday came here to meet activist Anna Hazare, a day after holding a core committee meeting in Ghaziabad.

In the wake of graft allegations against some members, the group also decided to draft a code of conduct for its core committee members and anybody violating it would be removed from the committee.

They also said that its members will jointly campaign in the five states that go to the polls in 2012 for a strong Lokpal institution.

"We are all united. We will wait till the winter session of parliament to see if the Lokpal bill is enacted. Otherwise, we will as a team tour the five states going to polls next year to campaign against the Congress," Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal told reporters here. He was flanked by members Prashant Bhushan and Kiran Bedi.

They alleged that Congress was trying to divide the team members through its smear campaign against members of the core committee of India Against Corruption.

"Some leaders of the Congress are trying to divide the team. Some are trying to discredit us. This is a 20-crore people's agitation. If we give up the movement now, people will stop trusting us. Till the time a Lokpal institution is in place, we will continue our movement. We are all united," Kejriwal said in the presence of Anna Hazare.

"Congress is running scared after its Hisar poll defeat. But we are not against any political party or grouping. Since Congress is in power at the centre, it should fulfill its commitment to the nation to have a corruption-free government and enact the Jan Lokpal bill," he said.

Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi also dismissed allegations of misuse of funds by them, saying all the IAC accounts were specially audited for six months and the accounts will be put up on the movement's website on Nov 1.

"If you still have doubts over the accounts, you can order an investigation through any government agency," Kejriwal said.

    It appears Anna Hajare has lost grip over the movement and also team. Continuation of tinted members like Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan is the clear indication of the same. It is surprising to note the gang of three were giving so many statements against Indian Constitution and Parliamentary  System are now require bye laws for their unruly mobbing. After diverting funds, why this drama is the question many ask. The anarchist finally have to take shelter in bye laws that is good. They should keep that their famous idea calling back from Core committee provision and for bigger accommodating council like Lok Sabha at least consisting 1000 core members keeping in view their  all India character. They should make all donors voters and members  of team Anna circus .
    While receiving donation, they should ask declaration in writing that the donor is not member or sympathizer of RSS. We don't think they will do that as Digvijay alleged that Anna has full support of RSS and they can not live without them.
