Hazare may hold Wednesday's protest at Rajghat

After learning that Rajghat is not placed under Section 144 social activist Anna Hazare may shift the venue of his Wednesday's hunger strike against police atrocities to the Mahatma Gandhi memorial. This in case permission is denied to him by the Delhi police to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar.

Delhi police commissioner has imposed Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code (ban on unlawful assembly) on New Delhi district since Saturday.      

"We are going to discuss this at an internal meeting of the members of the civil society on Monday and take a decision accordingly," said Prashant Bhushan, noted advocate of the Supreme Court and one of the five members of the civil society on the Lokpal Bill drafting committee.

As a protest Hazare and his colleagues of the civil society have announced that they would boycott meeting of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee scheduled for Monday.

Hazare was to join Ramdev's protest at Ramlila Ground on Sunday, but could not do so after the yoga guru was flown to Dehradhun on a special plane following a midnight crackdown.

Hazare spent Sunday meeting supports of anti-black money campaign who had taken shelter in Deelhi's Gurdwara Bangla Sahib.
