Mon, 13th Aug 2012  Yoga guru Baba Ramdev was on Monday detained by the police while he was on his was to the Parliament with his supporters. He was marching towards the parliament to protest government's failure to bring back black money and control corruption. The police have taken Baba to a bus in which he will be taken to Bawana police station in North-West outer Delhi, according to media reports.
The supporters of Baba Ramdev have climbed on the bus in large number and are not allowing the bus to move further.
There is heavy security around Ramlila Maidan and the police has said that it will not allow the protestors to cross the Ranjit Singh flyover. Around 90 buses have been arranged by the police for the protestors, according to media reports.
The government has not responded to Baba Ramdev's agitation at the Ramlila Maidan for the last five days.
Ignored by the government, Yoga guru Ramdev today decided to take his protest to Parliament and vowed to oust Congress in the next Lok Sabha polls.
"The government has become completely deaf. We have to make them hear us. Now our protest will be outside Parliament. We are not talking about gherao," Ramdev said while addressing his supporters in London.
"Lok Sabha polls will be in 2014 and 99 per cent could be in 2013. This protest is to ensure that no dishonest person enters Parliament. Such people should be boycotted. We do not have a political agenda," he said.
The yoga guru, who started his fast on Thursday, said the Government had become "insensitive". "The Government is deaf, blind and insensitive. It is in
coma, it will die, we don't want anybody to die. But they are inviting death. Congress hatao, desh bachao," Ramdev said.
"We will sit on dharna outside Parliament," he added.  |
