| Amid deepening controversies over some of its most influential members, Team Anna is holding its core committee meeting in Ghaziabad near Delhi today. Anna, 74, is not attending the meeting; he has extended his "maun vrat" or vow of silence. Medha Patkar and Justice Santosh Hegde are also absent.
The meeting, being watched keenly by many, began at the office of the Public Cause Research Foundation -- a trust run by Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal -- in suburban Ghaziabad town at 11 am. A press briefing in scheduled for 4pm.
There is much on the table for discussion - reports of deep dissent within the team, accusations of financial malpractices, and the group's agenda for the next few months. A member of the core committee, which has 26 representatives including Anna, has asked that the entire group be suspended and replaced with a larger team.
In a letter sent to Anna on Friday, Kumar Vishwas has said that the Congress is trying to discredit members of the core committee. "Such attacks and the subsequent clarifications will strengthen the conspiracy to divert the attention from the key issues. I request you to give greater representation to the Core Committee consisting of limited members," he wrote.
Mr Vishwas, a college lecturer and poet, said the personal attacks on Core Committee members by "corrupt forces" were proof that these people were trying to "neutralise and hurt" those fighting graft. Mr Vishwas is not attending today's meeting.
