We are united not anti-congress: team anna

CNN-IBN | 29-Oct 16:48 PM Ghaziabad: Team Anna, in its core committee meeting on Saturday, decided not to dissolve the core committee. Members of Anna Hazare's team had met to discuss the ongoing controversies surrounding them, but without the social activist Anna Hazare himself. "This movement is to remove corruption, so there is no question of disbanding core committee," said Core Committee member Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal said that there was no demand to disband the committee and the decision after the meeting was a unanimous one. Kejriwal said, there was a unanimous decision to continue with the committee. There is no need to disband the committee, there was no demand to disband it." On being asked about the anti-Congress campaign in Hisar, he said that if the Prime Minister's letter came before the by-poll election then Team Anna would not have gone ahead with the campaign. He also maintained that the resolution passed by the committee reiterated the movement was not anti-Congress. "Campaign in Hissar is ratified by core committee as is was against the corruption. The Prime Minister's letter came late after the Hisar election. If we had received the letter before the by-election we would have not campaigned in Hisar," Kejriwal said. Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Bedi were present at the meeting, while activist Medha Patkar and Santosh Hegde did not attend the meeting. The sticking points in the meeting were Prashant Bhushan's comments on Kashmir and Anna's repeated objections to this, the anti-Congress campaign in Hisar which saw the exit of two team members and the embarrassment caused by the scandal involving Kiran Bedi. 29-Oct 16:48 PM Ghaziabad: Team Anna, in its core committee meeting on Saturday, decided not to dissolve the core committee.
