Plan for fast will continue: Baba Ramdev

By IANS,

New Delhi : Rejecting pleas by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, yoga guru Baba Ramdev Wednesday said he will begin his planned hunger strike against corruption and black money from Saturday.

“The agitation from June 4 will take place from Delhi’s Ramlila maidan to 624 districts in the country and, on the first day itself, more than 1 crore people will fast and participate in the satyagraha,” Ramdev told reporters at Delhi airport.

He was speaking after four central ministers, including Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, rushed to the airport to hold talks with the yoga guru.

Baba Ramdev said the first round of talks with the government was “positive”, adding that more rounds will take place.
