'Gherao' anti-Jan Lok Pal MPs, says Anna Hazare

RALEGAN SIDDHI: Anna Hazare on Saturday urged people to “gherao” lawmakers opposed to the Jan Lok Pal ( JLP) bill. "We should gherao the houses of MPs opposing the Jan Lokpal bill.

They should not be allowed to come out," the 74-year-old activist told a meeting of anti-corruption agitators in his Ralegan Siddhi village in Ahmednagar district.

He also asked people not to re-elect such MPs."It is our duty to ensure that those MPs who are not supporting the bill should not be re-elected," he said. The meeting that started Saturday morning will have different sessions that would discuss the future course of action for the Jan Lokpal bill.
