A 60-year-old carpenter has filed a petition against Anna Hazare and his team members in a Delhi court for “waging war against the government”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Satbir Singh, hailing from Haryana, approached the court of metropolitan magistrate Tyagita Singh on Saturday, pleading that a case be lodged against Hazare and his team members. Satbir has also said that the “accused persons may kindly be summoned, tried and punished according to law”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“They have all hatched a conspiracy to cause loss to the nation and to lower the reputation of government of India and its ministers,” Satbir said in his petition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“They instigated innocent people to assemble at Ramlila Maidan on August 16. The accused gave false speech against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other MPs,” said the petition, a copy of which is with IANS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“On their direction people assembled outside the houses of ministers, due to which they disturbed the peace in the locality and even disturbed the traffic system,” it said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“The accused persons through media have abused the government and pressurised them to pass their own Jan Lokpal bill, in which they have succeeded,” states the petition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Satbir has accused Team Anna of hatching criminal conspiracy, waging war against government, rioting, creating public nuisance, defamation, among other offences.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The matter will come up for hearing in the court Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hazare sat on a hunger strike on August 16, demanding a strong Lokpal Bill. He broke his 12-day fast on August 28 after the Parliament held a special debate and adopted the three key Lokpal points demanded by Team Anna.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Team Anna members Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal have been served breach of privilege notices by parliament for mocking at MPs and using unparliamentary language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
