Did Team Anna get go-ahead for protest plans?

November 28, 2011 10:44

Confusion prevailed over Anna Hazare's protest plans today with a prominent MCD functionary saying that the civic body has not given permission for the
agitation at Ramlila Maidan even as Team Anna insisted that they have got the nod.

MCD Standing Committee Chairman Yogender Chandolia said no permission has been given to Hazare for using the Ramlila Maidan for his protest next month.

Team Anna said Hazare will lead the protest in Delhi if a strong Lokpal Bill is not passed in the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament.

"No permission has been given yet," Chandolia, a senior local BJP leader, said when asked about claims by Team Anna that they have been given permission to use the Maidan from December 27 to January five for the protest.
