Within minutes of Anna Hazare's appeal to organise sit-ins in front of ministers' houses and MPs residences, the supporters all over the country have organised such dharnas. Even Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh's 7, Race Course Road, was witness to such a protest. Around 80 slogan shouting protestors were detained on their way to PM's residence. Protestors even protested at Congress headquarters in Delhi. Salman Khurshid, Om Praksh Jaisawal and other MPs, particularly from Congress, were focus of attention as their houses were witness to protest march. Seeing the widespread response to Anna's call, the Delhi-based residence of Kapil Sibal has turned into a fortress as Delhi police has deployed additional forces.
Meanwhile, Congress has mellowed down. Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, said, "Give the Standing Committee a chance. Allow us to do our work. We may collectively surprise all those who are skeptical or cynical".
He said the Parliamentary Committee shared people's concerns over corruption.
Singhvi has been maintaining that the panel examining the Lokpal Bill is open to all kinds of views to formulate a strong legislation and has not pre-judged the issue.
A Congress MP has submitted Hazare's Jan Lokpal Bill for consideration before the Committee.
