Gurgaon: Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare and yoga guru Baba Ramdev
will jointly sit on a day's token fast in Delhi June 3 to press
for a strong Lokpal bill and to mobilise opinion against black
money.
Addressing a joint press conference here, Hazare and Ramdev
slammed the government for being involved in corruption.
Hazare said they had no intention of making the government fall.
However, there was nothing wrong if the people's movement
proceeded that way.
"Making the government fall is not our intention... if this
government is graduate in corruption, the next government will do
PhD... But a government that can't understand people's voice, it's
not a (matter of) concern if it falls," Hazare said.
Ramdev added that the present government had no right to rule.
"It can only happen in India that after so many corruption cases
the government continues."
"Time will change and a government will come that will have only
those who want a strong Lokpal," Ramdev said.
The two added that they would travel across the country and
campaign against corruption.
