"Either pass the bill or go" - Anna

Today, in presence of thousands of people gathered at Ramlila Ground at New Delhi, Anna gave ultimatum to government "either pass the bill till 30th Aug or go", we are ready for that.   It is well known that Anna has support of millions of people in each city, town and villages of India.  Anna's movement has gathered a fast pace with everyday joining by thousands of people to the movement.  Everybody is surprised at the Congress government's insensitive behavior to protect their ego.  Nobody is understanding why government is adopting double standards.  At one point they say they want strong  anti-corruption law and at other side try to present weaker bill.  Anna has told peoples to sit in front of member of parliament and MLAs houses to protest.  Now there is a increased risk of failure of democratic institutions.

All political parties uniting together against civil society.  Is it blow to Lokpal bill?

Fears of the people are coming true as all the political parties are uniting against Anna.  The leaders of all political parties are coming together against anti-corruption campaign.  Political parties including BJP, Lalu's RJD, samajwadi party and others have asked government about engaging with civil society about Lokpal Bill.

NO CONSENSUS ON LOKPAL BILL AMONGS POLITICAL PARTIES IN ALL-PARTY MEET

Yesterday, in a all-party meet no consensus has reached in parties on issue of lokpal bill.  While Left parties want PM to be included in bill but no Judiciary whereas ADMK and Lalu does not want PM to be included.  BJP is still unclear on their stand.  Only everybody wants a strong Lokpal bill, but people of India is unable to get the exact meaning of "strong" as in political terms words have not exactly the same meaning which they are intended to.  It seems like "lokpal bill" has become just a "child's play" in hands of political parties.

Today's all political party meet will decide fate of Lokpal.  BJP confirms participation.

Today, all political parties including BJP and left parties are meeting together to discuss the issues of draft of Lokpal Bill.  None of the political parties have clearly expressed their opinion about Lokpal yet.  Meanwhile Shivsena refused to participate in meet.  Aam Junta is eagerly waiting the outcome of meet.
