Arguing that Anna Hazare should not deride democratic institutions, NAC member Aruna Roy today (August 20) said the Gandhian was "ill-advised" as there was still scope for the civil society group to change the government's version of Lokpal Bill. Referring to the Hazare camp's assertion that sending the government Lokpal Bill to the Standing Committee as a waste of time, Roy said such committees are an important institution and one should use it as much as possible.
Just hours after the Anna camp set a new deadline for the government, other powerful voices within the civil society spoke out, criticising both the government and Team Anna's versions of the Lokpal bill. "The Standing Committee is an important institution... we cannot get rid of institutions," said Aruna Roy, a member of the National Advisory Council.
Aruna Roy said that a newspaper report had twisted her words on Anna Hazare.

In a dramatic related stories * Hegde appeals Anna to end fast * Pranab to negotiate with Team Anna development that followed intense backstage negotiations, Manmohan Singh wrote to Hazare that the Jan Lokpal Bill framed by him will also be taken to the Parliamentary Standing Committee along with the government's Lokpal Bill and a third version by social activist Aruna Roy. Simultaneously, Hazare confidants Arvind Kejriwal, Prashant Bhushan and Kiran Bedi opened talks with Congress veteran and finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, the government's most experienced member. The Manmohan Singh offer came as Kiran Bedi said that Hazare was getting progressively weaker and Kejriwal warned of serious consequences if anything happened to the soldier-turned-activist. Hazare has lost 5.5 kg since Aug 16. According to doctors, ketone particles (created by the body during starvation) were in his blood but in safe limit. Seated and frequently lying down on a giant stage in Ramlila ground, Hazare did look a lot weaker Tuesday.
