Hazare Detention: PM Takes Stock Of Situation

Amid showdown between Anna Hazare and the government on the Lokpal issue, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today took stock of the situation arising out of the detention of the activist.

The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) met here this morning where officials briefed the meeting on the police action.

“Hazare has been detained. It all depends on what he intends to do. We will watch the situation,” a senior minister, who attended the meeting, said.

The issue of impeachment of Justice Soumitra Sen of Calcutta High Court also figured in the meeting. The deliberations, however, primarily focussed on Hazare’s protest.
