“It’s not that we are not willing to talk to the government; we’ll still talk to the government,” Bhushan told news channel Times Now.

When asked about the government’s proposal to bring in a new bill, Bhushan said: “We’ve travelled a long way since then but the question is what is the content of that bill?”

Aides of the 74-year-old Hazare, whose fast for a strong anti-corruption bill entered day 10 Thursday, had said Wednesday night after the talks with the government that they were “back to square one”.
