Anna Hazare today said he will shut down his blog after a fresh controvery broke out over a claim by his official blogger that the anti-corruption crusader wanted to 'restructure' his core team.
The row erupted when the blogger Raju Parlekar, a journalist, made public today an unpublished post on Hazare's blog to apparently negate his claim that the Gandhian had not spoken to him about reorganising his Core team.
Parulekar claimed Hazare "spontaneously" wrote the blog on restructuring the team on October 23 afternoon "when he made up his mind to get away from Kejriwal, Bedi and Bhushan and their pawns in the Core Committee".
"Sureshbhau Pathare (Hazare's close aide) was present there. He tried to stop Annaji but Annaji was unstoppable. Then Sureshbhau requested me not to upload Annaji's this particular blog on his blog at least immediately.
Hazare while rejecting suggestions that he was going to change his team said he will block his blog soon after reaching his native village in Ralegan Siddhi in Maharashtra. He also suspected a conspiracy against him and his team.
"I have thought of changing my team many times as I heard about the allegations again and again. But you cannot say anything till I announce my decision," he told reporters.
Asked whether the letter posted in the website was his, Hazare said, "if there is my signature in the letter, then only you consider it as a mine. If the signature is not there, then its not mine."
The row between Hazare and Parulekar erupted after the Gandhian claimed that he never ever spoke to the journalist or met him on the issue of re-structuring of Core Committee and forming a new Pan-Indian organisation with immediate effect.
Parulekar posted his version as well as an unpublished blog by Hazare in Marathi along with its English translation in the Gandhian's blog this morning, claiming that he had not uploaded an order dictated by Hazare after October 30 following a Core Committee meeting asking him to hold it back.
Reacting to Parulekar's claim, Team Anna member Kiran Bedi said, "it appeared that someone had a bigger game plan and it has got exposed just in time."
