Man moves court against Anna
NEW DELHI: A 60-year-old carpenter has filed a petition in a Delhi court against Anna Hazare and his associates for "waging war against the government".
Satbir Singh, hailing from Haryana, approached the court of metropolitan magistrate Tyagita Singh on Saturday, pleading that a case be lodged against Hazare and his associates. Satbir has urged the "accused persons may kindly be summoned, tried and punished according to law".
"They have all hatched a conspiracy to cause loss to the nation and lower the reputation of government of India and its ministers," Satbir alleged in his petition.
"They instigated innocent people to assemble at Ramlila Maidan on Aug 16. The accused gave false speech against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other MPs," he said in the petition. "On their direction people assembled outside the houses of ministers, due to which they disturbed the peace in the locality and even disturbed the traffic system," he stated, seeking action against Anna.
"The accused through media have abused the government and pressured them to pass their own Jan Lokpal Bill, in which they have succeeded," the petition states.
Satbir has accused 'Team Anna' of hatching a 'criminal conspiracy', waging war against the government, rioting, creating public nuisance, defamation, among other offences. The matter will come up for hearing on Monday.
Hazare sat on a hunger strike Aug 16, demanding a strong Lokpal Bill. He broke his 12-day fast on Aug 28 after the Parliament held a special debate and adopted the three key Lokpal points demanded by Team Anna.
Team Anna members Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal have been served breach of privilege notices by the Parliament for mocking MPs.india and indian peoples are not sleeping now
