Chidambaram replying to a volley of questions on why the Delhi Police detained Hazare and his supporters even before they defied the prohibitory orders said today that if Hazare and his supporters were not happy with the conditions imposed by the Delhi Police for their proposed stir they could have challenged it in a court of law.

Minister said. He also ridiculed Hazare's contention that their Jan Lokpal bill draft has to be considered, saying, "Laws cannot be made by social activists in a maidan."
