Anna fast ends( but not campaign)

The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha unanimously resolved that the Standing Committee would consider Anna's three demands - including the lower bureaucracy in the Lokpal's purview, a central law for creating Lok Ayuktas in states and a citizen's charter for government departments providing public service. This finally paved the way for Anna's 12-day fast to end on Sunday(august 29 2011). 


But the historic moment almost didn't come about. Anxiety hit the process once again when in the afternoon Team Anna members announced that the government was going back on its word. It was later learnt that the agreed upon draft resolution was changed and this almost scuppered the deal. Eventually Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stepped in, and with the help of top BJP leaders and his own colleagues, pushed through an acceptable resolution. There was momentary confusion when Parliament opted to unanimously adopt the resolution through the 'sense of the House' instead of passing it by voice vote. However, civil society activists accepted it. As Medha Patkar said, "The important thing is that our three demands have been accepted."
