Will of Parliament is the will of the people: PM

New Delhi, Aug 27 (PTI) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh on Saturday hailed as "will of the people" Parliament
adopting the "Sense of the House" on the Lokpal issue.
"Parliament has spoken. There was agreement in both the
Houses. The will of Parliament is the will of the people,"
Singh told reporters soon after Parliament decided to convey
the Sense of the House to activist Anna Hazare.
In a letter to Hazare, Singh urged him to end his
12-day fast.
The Prime Minister's letter was taken to Hazare by Union
Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh who was also accompanied by AICC
(All India Congress Committee) General Secretary Vilas
Muttemwar and party MP Sandeep Dikshit.
Muttemwar has been tasked with translating the Prime
Minister's reply as well as the 'Sense of the House' to
Hazare in Marathi.
"The Prime Minister has apprised Hazare of the agreement
that the House resolutions carry and also talks about the
concerns raised by Hazare," Deshmukh said.
