Anna Hazare, called to observe Jail Bharo on April 13 2011 in protest of the government rejecting the demand to issue an official notification to constitute the draft committee for Lokpal Bill and also rejected the proposal for an outsider to lead the new committee of government and civil society.
The protesters announced that Kapil Sibal had conveyed about this decision to them and has also said that Pranab Mukherjee will head the committee.
Reacting to the government’s stand, Anna Hazare announced country-wide Jail Bharo agiation on April 12.
However, later the date was changed to April 13 as organisers realised April 12 was a Ramnavami holiday and the agitation would inconvenience people.
An angry Hazare said that the people will teach the government a lesson by joinging the jail bharo agitation against the government.
Meanwhile, Anna Hazare, whose fast entered the fourth day on Friday, has said that he will not become the chairman of the proposed draft committee for the Lokpal Bill. Addressing the thousands at the protest site, Anna Hazare said that he would only assist the committee in advisory capacity.
