Team Anna to move court after permission denied for protest

New Delhi, Aug 15 (PTI) Social activist Anna Hazare team
member Prashant Bhushan Monday said they will move court
against Delhi Police for denying permission to them to hold a
protest fast at Jai Prakash Narain Park.
Terming the decision as "unconstitutional and
undemocratic", Bhushan said the police acted against the
democratic rights of the citizens by denying permission to
undertake peaceful protest.
"We will knock the doors of the court," he told
reporters.
Bhushan alleged that the democracy under the present
government was turning to autocracy and it reminded of
Emergency in the 1970s.
After the Hazare team refused to give an undertaking
restricting the number of days of protests to three and
protestors to 5,000, the police refused to grant permission to
them for the indefinite fast demanding a strong Lokpal
Bill(anti-corruption ombudsman bill).
