"He (hazare) has made his position clear that he will break his fast if this minimum demand of at least the resolution containing three things is passed by Parliament or at least table the Jan Lokpal Bill. Then he will withdraw the fast," Bhushan said. "If it is passed today, he will call off the fast immediately," he added.
Bhushan, a lawyer himself, said the resolution approving the three demands of civil society -- lower bureaucracy to be brought in the ambit of the Lokpal, creation of Lokpal in all the states through a legislation and approval of citizens charter -- has to be brought by the government formally. He said earlier Hazare had said at least table the Jan Lokpal Bill.
"Now, he has said if you can't table the alright, at least pass a resolution on these three issues which affects the common people of the country, then I can call off the fast while maintaining the right to continue the strike on the issue," he said.
He criticised the government for not bringing a resolution to Parliament to discuss the three key demands of Hazare.
Bhushan said, "If government wants Anna Hazare to end his fast, then they should bring the resolution to the Parliament as soon as possible. If the resolution is not brought on Friday then there should be a special session on Saturday." He said the "attitude" of the government as well as political parties towards Hazare's movement was being strictly monitored by people of the country and that they should not "undermine" the "peoples' movement".
