New Delhi, Aug 26: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today made a fresh appeal to Anna Hazare to end his fast since Parliament was discussing the Jan Lokpal Bill.
“We request Anna Hazare to give up his fast because whole Parliament have requested him... Now the discussion is taking place. I do hope as the discussions are taking place on all issues...,” he told reporters outside his North Block office.
Mukherjee said the Parliamentary Standing Committee will also take views of MPs on the issue and Hazare should end his fast considering the discussion process initiated by the government.
