New Delhi: Team Anna on Thursday accused Home Minister P Chidambaram of scuttling their proposed agitation in Delhi on July 25.
This comes after Delhi Police denied permission to Team Anna to hold an indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar in the national capital from July 25, citing parliament's monsoon session, during which others also will have to be accommodated for protest.
Team Anna had announced the indefinite protest against the UPA government on the issue of corruption and its alleged failure to enact a strong Lokpal as well as not setting up a Special Investigation Team to probe corruption charges against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his 14 Cabinet colleagues.
In a letter to Team Anna, Delhi Police has said during the proposed period of the fast, the Monsoon Session of Parliament will be on and Jantar Mantar will see a huge rush of various organisations coming to hold dharna or demonstrations who all will have to be accommodated there.
The letter also noted that special security arrangements will be required and these arrangements cause undue strain on the limited capacity of Jantar Mantar which is a regular road and cannot be blocked for a long duration.
