NEW DELHI: Charging Ramdev with going back on his words to end his indefinite fast, Union minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has defended the midnight police action against the yoga guru saying it helped in preventing casualties. 

The parliamentary affairs minister, who was one of the interlocutors who held parleys with Ramdev, also scoffed at suggestions that the government was arrogant in dealing with the situation. 

"He (Ramdev) said he would withdraw it (the agitation) in the afternoon of the first day (June 4). And he did not... after a sort of agreement between the government and Ramdev, when we found that the things were getting out of hands, he was sticking to what he had said, the government had to take that action," Bansal told Karan Thapar in his Devil's Advocate programme. 

01)  Whatever it is, the midnight swoop, the police brutality with teargas shelling and lathicharge against sleeping supporters of the 'Anti-Corruption Movement' is absolutely condemnable.

02)  Repeating a lie a million times will not make it true.

03)  Congress Managers should realise that it is no more their prerogative as the matter of the Corruption and Black Money is, now, in the public domain and that they should stop their smear campaigns and start answering the people on their stand on the above twin issues of National Importance.
