Team Anna's core committee meet begins

Ralegan Siddhi, Sep 10 (PTI) Aiming at devising a
strategy for passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill in Indian
Parliament, the two-day meeting of the core committee of
activist Anna Hazare's team began here on Saturday.
Key members of Team Anna - including Arvind Kejriwal,
Kiran Bedi, Santosh Hegde, Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan
and Manish Sisodia - are present in the meeting, which is
being described as the first formal engagement after Hazare's
fast in New Delhi last month. The meeting commenced at 11:30
AM.
Before commencement of the meeting, Hazare told PTI that
the core committee will discuss the outcome of the agitation
and also decide on the future course of action.
"People must ask the parliamentarians about their role
in the Jan Lokpal Bill movement. People must be careful while
electing the MPs in future. Those MPs who are either against
the Jan Lokpal Bill or passive about it must not be given a
second chance. The fight against corruption would continue
till India is freed from corruption," he said.
According to insiders, the meeting will also discuss
ways to further mobilise public opinion in favour of the Jan
Lokpal Bill to make it an instrument for achieving the goal of
a corruption-free India.
