TAGS:A Hunger strike by Mr Hazare in April heaped pressure on the government, which is best by corruption scandals.Anna Hazare is part of a panel of campaigners now negotiating with the government for tough anti-corruption laws and he has huge public support.Baba Ramdev, whose daily TV programme is watched by millions, has vowed to continue his fast against corruption in his home city of Haridwar.
He wants billions of dollars of suspected bribe money allegedly held overseas to be returned to India. The yoga guru has called the police operation a blot on democracy.Around 40 people were injured when police used batons and tear gas to disperse thousands of Baba Ramdev supporters in central Delhi on Sunday.
That successful protest drew major concessions from the government, which agreed to let them help draft a bill to create an Anti corruption ombudsman.But reports say campaigners and the government are at odds over how powerful the new post holder should be.
