Patkar: Bhushan very much part of team Anna

October 17, 2011 15:51

Amid growing speculations of differences cropping up in #TeamAnna, social activist Medha Patkar today said lawyer-activist Prashant Bhushan continues to be a part of the anti-graft movement. "Anna Hazare has never said that Prashant Bhushan will not be a part of the team. Media has distorted his statement. 'Prashant Bhushan is very much part of the Team. He is at the forefront of the struggle,' Patkar said while addressing a group of activists before leaving for Imphal on a solidarity march for anti-AFSPA campaigner Irom Sharmila.
