Finally, the govt. seems to have bowed a bit to Anna. They have just sent out a letter to Anna to permit the bill to be discussed in parliament. Of course, their bill will be withdrawn and a more stronger Lokpal would come into play. But, the govt. has also put in a catch that they will not directly look to pass the Jan Lokpal bill but would discuss the three key points raised by Anna.
Let's hope that Anna now calls off the fast and the Govt. follows through on the Lokpal bill.
Cheers!

ram - There appears to be no indication of Anna Hasare withdrawing his fast. This I am telling based on news paper reports. I wish he withdraws and takes care of his health. I will rate the impact made by him next to that of Jayaprakash Narayan in 1970s.

i dont say that he should leave his fasting as full fledged ly when the government will agree to everything of lok pal bill then only should leave the fast,i dont trust our politicians .At any time they will cross off their promises,shold not believe politicians.

Unfortunately, I do not think all the provisions of Jan Lokpal will be accepted. I think it is important for Anna to break his fast now as otherwise his life would be at stake now. I think the Govt. has made a huge concession and now it is to move forward collaboratively.
Cheers!

There are so many allegations of corruption against the present government that it has been compelled to give in ultimately to Anna Hazare. It had otherwise no other alternative.
