New Delhi, Dec 1: With Anna Hazare threatening to renew his protest on Lokpal, the Centre today defended the handling of the Gandhian’s agitation four months ago and stressed that any future stir will also be “dealt” by the Delhi Police.
Stressing that the government was never in a “tizzy” during the Ramlila Maidan protest, Union Home Secretary R K Singh said both the agitations of yoga guru Ramdev and Anna Hazare were handled “very well” with the “best available option and judgement” and justified the arrest of the Gandhian.
“I do not agree with the people who said he (Hazare) should never have been sent to jail. Absolutely no question. Had I been in the place of (Delhi) Police Commissioner, I would have done exactly what he did,” he said at a press conference.
