Anna's Fast: Digvijay Singh Warns Repeat of Ramdev Episode


Jabalpur, Jun 22: Congress leader Digvijjay Singh has warned that Anna Hazare's proposed fast on August 16 may end up like Baba Ramdev's at Ramlila grounds in New Delhi, depending on the situation.

Without directly threatening a crackdown on the proposed fast, Singh said that the 'same treatment' would be given to Hazare, if the situation demands.

He also said the government was accountable not to Anna or his team, but to the people of the country.

Hazare was being flattered by his young supporters who are urging him to fast without going on a fast themselves, and without showing any consideration for his age, he said.

    Mr. Kevin Dias, I agree with you, when you say "let us respect people......". But the problem is this man does not deserve that when he makes statements like what he did... BTW Sonia is running the show. She can stop these goons from making such statements but she is quietly sitting and watching the show. These corrupt politicians are not fit to govern the country. Past is a last resort Anna is going for after making concerted efforts to get a LOK Pal bill. The elected government is not above the people but is accounatble to the peole. A strong LOK Pal will get this accountability which corrupt politicians do not want.

    Dear Ashenoy,

    Let us respect people when we write and condemn those who invite it. By writing that Mr. Digvijay is a mouth piece of Sonia, is not right. Let us respect the law of the land, let not the Country be taken for Ransom. Going on fast is becoming a new trend of marketing and selling the people to the Government. As mentioned by Mr. Digvijay they will sure have a look at the situation at sight and then take measures that need to be taken by the Government, So that innocent people do not become victims by following blindly these so called new marketing guru's of fasting. Hat's off to you Mr. Digvijay.

    Digvijay Singh should not forget the consequences of the arrogance of Mrs. Indira Gandhi during emergency. He should have respect for democratic principles. The wrath of the people will defitely show the real place of these arrogant politicians.

    I think Diggy forgotten that in democracy, they are only elected representatavive only for 5 years. If they think the same treatment to Anna hazare as like did to ramdev then the consequences will be diffErent. You have to face wrath of whole nation.

    This chap is a mouthpiece of Sonia and corrupt congress man. These congress thieves do not want a strong Lokpal bill because they will be digging their own graves by a teethy Lokpal.
