Anna Upset : Will Go on Fast from Aug 16


New Delhi, Jun 16 : A day after talks on Lokpal Bill got deadlocked, Anna Hazare today accused the government of having no intention of enacting a strong anti-corruption law and said he will undertake an indefinite fast from August 16 if a diluted legislation is brought.

Hazare alleged that the government had "backtracked" on the promises that it will agree to all the suggestions forwarded by the civil society members.

He told reporters that he was "surprised" that the government wants civil society members to give a separate draft of the bill which will be brought before the cabinet along with that of the government.

"If there have to be two drafts, then why was this joint committee formed. They could have told us earlier. Our draft was known to them.
