Anna Hazare's indefinite fast for Lokpal Bill

• Now the discussion on Lokpal Bill will take place on Monday
  
• People of this country were watching how Samajwadi Party leaders were disrupting the House
  
• We will continue our agitation till Lokpal Bill is passed
• I will be fine, have endured a lot more than this
• On AAP leader Gopal Rai: I don't want to blame anyone, just explained him where he went wrong
• I started alone, people gradually joined in
• There were some AAP leaders who said that Anna's movement become big because of them, but country knows it all
• Not everybody is bad in politics, but I told them not to share the stage with me
• I will be in touch with some good politicians who are honest
• I have suffered a lot of humiliation, can still endure a lot for my movement
• I am confident that the Lokpal Bill will be passed this time
  

• The Lokpal bill has been thoroughly discussed over 2-4 years
• The amendment has got wide support
• This will create a truly honest and independent Lokpal

• Highest priority of the Government is to pass the Lokpal bill
• Once it is passed in Rajya Sabha, it will go to Lok Sabha
• According to parliamentary decisions, if anyone is against it, the party has to vote against it

Samajwadi Party has saved the UPA in the past Nine years. Today it is collusively preventing the discussion and passage of the LokPal Bill.

Anna Hazare asks Gopal Rai to leave village after Rai raised objections to VK Singh charging Arvind Kejriwal of benefiting politically from Anna's movement and then deserting him. 

Government concedes to one point of select committee recommendation. Investigating officers will not be changed without Lokpal permission: Sources

Bill will be taken up at 2:30 pm

Will be Anna ji in an hour. Hoping that after support extended by BJP the lokpal bill will be passed. Let us all do our bit to get it.

• Government has given 13 amendments
• BJP is always in favor of a strong and effective Lokpal
• Actually there is no role of the Government in these amendments
• Want strong, independent, effective Lokpal. Govt must bring revised Bill immediately, with unanimous amendments, will pass it

Urge all political parties who passed the improvements in Lokpal bill in the Select Committee now honour these and pass the Lokpal bill!

• Lokpal bill was first introduced in 1967
• There have been several discussions and debates in the past 46 years
• We want to make this proposal that let the government pass these unanimous recommendations
• Government has agreed to all but does not agree with two crucial amendment
• For example, the Committee says during an ongoing investigation, an investigation officer can be transferred only after Lokpal clears it. Government says no, we will have the power to transfer.
• Second example: report says a delinquent officer can be raided without any notice. Government says no, first a show cause notice should be given
• We won't allow  the government to subvert the report
  

• Annaji congratulated us for our 28 seats, Anna said if there are re-polls we will get a total majority
• On our behalf, Gopal Rai will stay with Annaji for the fast
• Told Annaji this is the same Lokpal which we used to call the Joke-pal
• We won't accept this, will oppose it

• Anna is stable
• Vital parameters are normal
• Heart, pulse is normal
• He has lost 1600 gms
• Urine output is ok
• BP is normal
• Energy level is low
