 SEE why team anna is unhappy with standing committee's report

• Social activist Anna Hazare on Thursday said they will go on the fast from December 27 if the government does not pass the Lokpal Bill in this session of the parliament.
• Hazare also said that from the first day of new year (Jan 1, 2012), supporters of Jan Lokpal Bill will start bharo aandolan all over the country. 

•  He said that the activists will sit outside the house of the MPs of the parties which have opposed the anti-graft bill and force the govt to arrest them and put in jail.

• In case the bill is passed by the the Hazare plans to present important people in the govt with a rose. Hazare said that rose is meant to show the people in the govt how the the flower stays among thorns and still gives happiness to the people.

Earlier today, the govt acknowledged that consensus eluded the all-party meeting on Lokpal issue. However, parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal said the government was confident that it would be able to table the proposed bill in the winter session itself.

"I believe that it would be possible. Yesterday (Wednesday), there was an all-party meeting where 35 different parties participated. All had different views on the issue. To say there was broad consensus on the issue would be wrong. This has increased the work load of the government," Bansal said.
"How to compile these 35 different views and then also bringing in government views and to make amendments in the proposed bill," Bansal said, referring to the task at government's hand.
However, "We are working hard on it and I am confident we will be present it in this session," he said.
