"I am asked to keep the meeting secret. I said why not in the interest of people. But Narayasamy gets his letter hand delivered to my team members. That is when doubt arises whether an attempt was being made to split my team.
"The purpose of this move was to create an impression among the team that Anna is keeping them (his associates) in dark and holding consultations with government so that a misconception can be created and the team can be split," he claimed. He alleged that the government had worked a lot to create differences in the team but they did not succeed. It is said that crores of rupees have been spent on this, he added.
"What will be the future of the country if those running the country have bad intentions? If the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi are part of this, then it is a matter of concern for the country," he said.
Hazare alleged that Khurshid met him to persuade him not to attend the protests by Team Anna and yoga guru Ramdev.
Claiming that he was told by Khurshid that government is willing to bring Jan Lokpal Bill, he defended his meeting saying that he agreed for the meeting thinking that it will help the country.
Hazare also claimed that Khurshid told him that he will talk to Dr Singh and Gandhi and get back to him on the issues raised by him.
"Khurshid told me that prime minister will discuss issues with me and my team. Once Prime Minister accepts the demands, then it will be made public through a press conference. Till then, it should be kept secret," Hazare claimed.
He also claimed Khurshid informed him that Dr Singh and Gandhi had accepted his demands following which he raised doubts about how the government will go ahead with the bill. "I told him that a Bill has already been passed in Lok Sabha and now it is with the select committee of Rajya Sabha. I asked how are they going to deal the issue in such a situation," he said claiming Khurshid did not respond to his questions.
