News agencies brought the news which read :Agnivesh willing to rejoin Anna's movement
Social
activist Swami Agnivesh, who fell out with Anna Hazare, says he is
willing to rejoin the anti-corruption movement led by him provided they
agree, though he had faced "lot of insults" during his stint as a core
member of Team Anna.
"I will not let my ego come in the way. I am willing to
rejoin Team Anna. But I will not tolerate any hanky-panky," he told
India TV in an interview, according to a release from the television
channel.
Detailing his differences with Team Anna during Hazare's
fast at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, Agnivesh said it can be called
dissent "which is essential in democracy."
"I wanted Anna Hazare
to sit on indefinite fast, but not on fast unto death. At the core
committee meeting on August 13, I raised this point and my dissenting
note was formally recorded at Anna's insistence," he said.
Agnivesh,
who had levelled serious corruption charges against key Team Anna
member Arvind Kejriwal, said some people wanted Anna movement to
continue so that "they could grab the leadership."
"How can they ignore a joint appeal of Parliament and even
the Prime Minister saluting the Gandhian? It was a golden opportunity
for Anna to end his fast, but they dragged it on for three more days. I
told them, you've done the wrong thing and this will later cause grave
risk to Anna's health," he said.
To a specific question, the
release quoted him as saying that "I even wept sitting alone. I had
faced a lot of insults. But I decided not to speak otherwise it could
weaken Anna's movement."
On his conversation in a controversial
CD, he said he was speaking to Pandit NK Sharma, an associate of
Shankaracharya Swarupannanda Saraswati.
