Hazare aides prepare for Team Anna core committee meet

Associates of social sctivist Anna Hazare are making preparations for the core committee meeting of Team Anna, scheduled at his village Ralegan Siddhi on September 10 and 11.

"We are readying for the meeting. Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Prashant Bhushan would be attending the meeting," Hazare's close aide Datta Awari said.

The meeting is being held in the backdrop of Hazare making public his displeasure over the government 'targeting' his team members. While Kejriwal has been slapped with Income Tax notice, Bedi and Bhushan have been served breach of privilege notices.

At the meeting, Hazare and the core committee members are expected to discuss strategy on current issues, including the notices issued by the Centre.

Meanwhile, actor-film maker Mahesh Manjrekar Monday met Hazare at the village. "There is talk of actor Aamir Khan visiting Ralegan Siddhi," Awari said.

On September 2, while addressing a gram sabha meeting at Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare launched an attack on the UPA regime, saying half of those in the government were liars. He singled out Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, describing him as 'mischievous'.
