Lokpal logjam: Anna Hazare calls for jail bharo agitation

Apprehending forcible removal, Anna Hazare on Wednesday night asked his supporters to start a jail bharo agitation by gheraoing Parliament and residences of MPs and getting arrested. Addressing his supporters at Ramlila Maidan after the virtual breakdown of talks, he said the way the government has now reacted to the demands of the civil society has exposed its real face, that of dictators and Black British. "I am ready to go to jail. Don't stop the government from taking me away," Anna Hazare said. "The government is showing its dictatorial traits," the 74-year-old Gandhian said. "The government might forcefully take away Anna Hazare to some other place tonight," Anna Hazare aide Arvind Kejriwal said.
