New Delhi: Anna Hazare's team on Thursday critisesed the Union Cabinet for clearing the Government's version of the Lokpal Bill with Hazare saying he will go on fast from August 16 in protest.
"The Government has not betrayed me but the people of India. We will look into the PM issue later but we continue to insist that the bureaucrats are included within the purview of the bill," said Hazare.
After much deliberation, and taking into consideration the Governemnt version and that of the Jan Lokpal Bill pushed by Anna Hazare and team, the cabinet on Thursday gave its nod to the Lokpal draft.
"This is cruel joke on the people of this country. If government thinks that they can fool people then they are mistaken," said Lokpal Bill Drafting Committee member Prashant Bhushan.
