Anna seeking publicity through protest, trying to "create crisis"

Accusing Anna Hazare of trying to create a crisis with the support of various internal forces Minister Narayanasamy on Sunday  asked him to call of his fast and to present his views on the Lokpal Bill before the Parliamentary Standing Committee.
He said that Anna Hazare is unfortunately trying to create a crisis for the government with the support of various internal forces. And added that these forces will be revealed to the public in due course of time.
He was quoted as saying Hazare had gone on fast although the UPA government had initiated measures to combat corruption and had brought in the Lokpal Bill which had since been referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee.
Narayanasamy said that the Prime Minister had made it clear that the Lokpal Bill needed consensus and the government was in favour of a strong and effective Lokpal Bill.
He said that Hazare should call off his fast and since the bill was before the Parliament, it alone could debate the provisions and could bring any change.
Hazare could place before the Parliamentary panel his suggestions and views on the provisions of the Lokpal Bill, it should contain. And if necessary, Hazare could also meet the leaders of all political parties for discussions.
Replying to a question, he said there could be no deadline for the passage of the Lokpal Bill as it had become the property of the Parliament.
