The arrest of Anna Hazare and putting him in the Tihar Jail for his decision to sit on hunger strike against corruption is completely against democratic rights of the people and has to be opposed by the entire nation. The government is trying to silence its critics through police action. The statement of the Ministers in the Parliament that it is the action of the police is a big joke. It is only police who arrests, but the decision to arrest Anna this way will be only on the direction of the higher ups. Is the government afraid of to take the responsibility?
All the opposition parties have strongly condemned the arrest in the Parliament the house has been adjourned. The Left parties have given a call to organise protest demonstration tomorrow, 17th August against the arrest.
