Centre won't interfere with Delhi Police decision

New Delhi, Aug 15 (PTI)
The Centre has decided not to interfere with the decision of Delhi Police's
refusal of permission to Anna Hazare to hold his protest fast, saying the
force has taken the stand on its own and it was fully capable of dealing
with any situation. "The Home Ministry will not interfere in the decision
of Delhi Police. We have nothing to do with it," the official said. A Home
Ministry official said the Delhi Police took the decision of denying
permission to Team Anna to stage the protest since they refused to comply
with its set conditions which are applicable to any group which wanted to
stage any protest in the national capital. The Centre also thinks that
Delhi Police are capable of dealing with any situation arising out of
Hazare's announcement that he would go ahead with the protest despite the
refusal of the permission. "If they (Team Anna) decide to go ahead with
their programme defying the order, law will take its own course," the
official said.
