Never closed doors for talks with Team Anna: Cong
August 01, 2012  17:39
As the eight day almost ends of Team Anna's fast against corruption, the Congress today said it had never closed its doors for talks, but accused the group of going ahead with the agitation "individually and arbitrarily".

"When have we said no to talks. We had not asked them to go on fast. We have kept our doors open. They have never been closed. They have gone ahead (with the fast) individually and arbitrarily," Congress spokesperson Renuka Chowdhury said.

She described as a "dangerous statement" Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal's remarks warning the government against removing him forcibly from the fasting venue as his health has deteriorated.

"They (Team Anna) are inciting the people," Chowdhury said when asked about Kejriwal's remarks. "I do not want to comment on that. We wish him (Kejriwal) well. He (Kejriwal) should save his energy. What the government will do ... it is our business," Chowdhury said.
