The Delhi Police finds itself in a piquant situation after allowing Team Anna Hazare's India Against Corruption to fast for a strong Lokpal Bill upto September 2 at the Ramleela grounds. The place has been booked by another organisation for a rally on September 1.
Team Anna swung into action on Thursday on the advice of the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled municipal corporation to negotiate with the Allahabad-based Bharat Mukti Morcha that has booked the ground for a rally in support of a caste census.
The morcha's convener J S Kashyap, however, was reluctant to shift the rally's venue or date, claiming that his organisation has already mobilised some one lakh people from across the country, though he told the negotiators that he is also with Anna Hazare in the fight against corruption.
"Anna Hazare is fighting for a good cause and we are also doing the same for a large section of the country. I told them that let's support each other and after our rally we will be with them."
According to the municipal sources, there is no booking of the ground from September 2 to 8 and it can be given to Team Anna if it makes a deal with the OBC norcha, but not beyond as the Ramleela committee takes it over for a month from September 9 for the annual Ramleela plays.
