New Delhi: Anna Hazare will not be able to go ahead with his proposed fast against corruption at Jantar Mantar from August 16 as prohibitory orders will be in force as Parliament will be in session. Section 144 will be imposed in and around the Parliament during the monsoon session of the House.
Delhi Police have also raised objection over Anna Hazare's proposed indefinite fast as that would amount to suicide.
Sources have told CNN-IBN that Delhi Police officials are in talks with civil society members and have advised them to undertake the fast at either Burari Ground or Ajmal Khan Park.
Hazare, who had undertaken a fast against corruption and a strong legislation to deal with the menace, had declared on Thursday that he would undertake fast at the same venue.
Hazare is likely to seek a court order to go ahead with his fast.
The anti-corruption Lokpal Bill, which was approved by the Union Cabinet on Thursday, will be tabled in Parliament on August 3.
Hazare and his supports have called the Lokpal Bill as a joke on the country and claimed that the legislation will not be able to tackle the menace of corruption.
