Hazare to break fast if Parliament agree to 3 demands

Social activist Anna Hazare today wrote a letter to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh saying he would break his fast if Parliament agrees to his three key demands.It contains his Team's version of a resolution to be moved in Parliament which details his three demands — all civil servants should be brought under Lokpal, a Citizen Charter should be displayed at all government offices and all states should have Lokayukta. However the Gandhian said that he will continue his protest till the legislation is passed.Thanking Prime Minister Dr. Singh and Parliament for respecting the movement for a strong Lokpal Bill, the 74-year-old social activist said he has the highest regard for Parliament which is a sacred temple of democracy.Noting that it was difficult for him to tolerate when a common man struggles because of corruption, he said he was proposing three provisions — his key demands — to stop corruption affecting the common man.
