The Centre on Friday termed the decision of social activist Anna Hazare to go on indefinite fast from August 16 on the Lokpal issue as “unjustified”.
“At this stage an extra parliamentary protest seems unjustified,” Home Minister P Chidambaram told reporters on Friday during an interaction with the Group of Ministers on Media.
He was replying to a question on how the government viewed Anna’s proposed agitation at a time when the draft bill for Lokpal is being deliberated by the Standing Committee on Law, Justice and Personnel.
Agreeing that “everybody has a right to protest and the context and circumstances will decide whether the protest was right or not”, the Home Minister said Team Anna’s earlier fast, when the Lokpal bill was not in place, was perhaps right but not now when a bill has already been introduced in Parliament and the government has “moved forward” on it.
