New Delhi: The government has agreed to adopt by a voice vote in parliament Anna Hazare’s demands on a Lokpal bill, sources said Saturday.
The debate in both houses of parliament on fasting Hazare’s demands will be followed by a resolution that will reflect a unanimous sense of the two houses, the sources said.
Earlier this afternoon, Expectations that Anna Hazare will end his fast Saturday suffered a blow after his aides accused the government of going back on its pledge to move a resolution on the Lokpal bill in parliament.
Emerging from talks with Law Minister Salman Khurshid, activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan said the government had refused to move a resolution over three key demands from Hazare.
'This will be a very unfortunate response to what Anna Hazare has written to the PM,' Bhushan told reporters, adding it was now for the 74-year-old Hazare to decide if he should call off his 12-day fast.
