Government trying to stop Lokpal Bill from becoming a reality: Team Anna

Anna Hazare's fast demanding a strong Lokpal Bill entered the fifth day on Saturday saying that the government has been trying to delay the Lokpal Bill for decades. It send a clear message to the government stating  that the protest will not end  till a strong Lokpal Bill is passed.
Anna Hazare on Friday at the historic Ramlila Maidan launched his protest fast, Team Anna took on the government for delaying the Lokpal Bill and accused the government from making the law a reality.
Team Anna also dismissed reports that the movement has got any kind of backing from  any political parties and has links with political parties such as RSS,BJP. Team Anna said that their protest is not against any political parties but is against corruption.
Anna Hazare's aociates namely Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan and Kiran Bedi spoke certain tough words like they cannot trust this government, but at the same time maintained that the government should come forward and start discussions. They also added that the government should stop wasting time in making false allegations.
Prashant Bhushan also took the pain to question how long will the nation wait  for th strong Lokpal Bill.
Accusing the government of using divisionary tactics, Team Anna said that it is not holding the government to ransom and added that everyone has the right to protest in this country.
There were no signs as to which side would take the initiative to break the deadlock, but it was obvious that the move would have to come soon since Anna Hazare would enter the sixth day of his fast on Sunday.
