Anna free to go anywhere: Home Secretary

New Delhi, August 17: Union Home Secretary R K Singh today said Gandhian activist Anna Hazare is free to go anywhere as he was released from Tihar Jail last night.

“Anna Hazare was released from Tihar Jail last night, so he is free to go anywhere,” Mr Singh told reporters here.

Asked if he is allowed to stage his agitation in J P Park as proposed, Mr Singh said it is for the Delhi Police to decide.

Anna is refusing to leave Tihar Jail even after being released from there and is continuing his agitation for a strong Lokpal Bill.

He was arrested yesterday ahead of his proposed fast for a stronger anti-corruption law and taken to Tihar Jail.

Authorities later declared him free but the Gandhian refused to walk out of the jail until he was allowed to hold his planned fast without any fetters.
