New Delhi: A total of
50 people, claiming to be supporters of Anna Hazare, were detained
Monday for protesting outside the house of union Agriculture
Minister Sharad Pawar here.
"A total of 50 people have been detained. They were protesting
outside Sharad Pawar's residence," Additional Deputy Commissioner
of Police Manish Kashyap, told IANS.
However, Team Anna denied indulging in any protest outside Pawar's
residence.
The incident was reported at 2:20 p.m. at Sharad Pawar's New Delhi
residence at 6 Janpath where people were shouting anti-government
slogans.
They were taken by Delhi Police officials in a bus to Tughlaq Road
police station.
"India Against Corruption (IAC) is not associated with the
protest. We have not organised it," IAC media coordinator Ashwathi
Muralidharan said.
The IAC supports Hazare in his fight against corruption in the
country.
Earlier Saturday, the supporters staged a protest outside Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh's official residence at 7 Race Course
Road.
