Agitated over the treatment meted out to Baba Ramdev, Anna Hazare-led civil society on Sunday announced a day-long nationwide hunger strike on Wednesday in protest and decided to boycott the meetings of Lokpal drafting committee in another showdown with the government.

Accusing the government of having suspicious intent with regard to dealing with corruption, Mr. Hazare said the civil society would defy prohibitory orders on Wednesday at Jantar Mantar to protest the police action against Baba Ramdev’s movement.

However, Mr. Hazare said he has “some issues” with the yoga guru and would not share the dais with him at Jantar Mantar.


I would rather put it this way, the nationwide hunger strike would be against the treatment meted  out to those innocent, sleeping citizens and against the usage of brutal force of tear-gas and Lathi charge, which fact Delhi police prefer to deny, despite the TV footages, from different channels.  Compared to that, our Flip-Flop Ramdev was let off very lightly and now safe and sound in Hardwar.
