Lok Satta Party President Dr Jayaprakash Narayan expressed relief over Anna Hazare and his team calling off their fast in New Delhi and at other places tomorrow. Commenting on the announcement from India against Corruption, movement Dr Narayan said in a media statement, ‘Annaji clearly awakened the conscience and purposefulness of a whole nation, and for this we must all be forever grateful to him. While I have no doubt that Team Anna is capable of resolute fast for many more days, it would have been futile, because Parliament did not appear to share Anna’s urgency to pass a strong anti-corruption law’. ‘It will surely have been a great learning experience for so many to understand how this country is really run, and how it needs to be run very differently by a brand new politics committed to public good’, He said. Dr JP welcomed Team Anna’s apparent plans to plunge into electoral politics. UNI
