As Anna Hazare's fast entered seventh day Monday, his Team alleged that efforts are being made to disrupt the movement as "certain people" are scared to see the support for the Gandhian.
   
"Certain people are scared to see the huge support for the agitation. There are efforts to disrupt the movement," Hazare's close aide Arvind Kejriwal said addressing the gathering at Ramilila Maidan.
   
He said there may be efforts to trigger violence during the protest and asked people to remain vigilant and inform police about such activities. "There efforts to break our unity. There may be efforts to create communal tensions. We will have to remain vigilant," Kejriwal said.
   
Accusing the government of being "sympathetic" to the corrupt, he said the official Lokpal Bill has nothing to effectively deal with graft. "The government Lokapal Bill has nothing to deal with corruption and provide succour to the common man from the menace. We want PM to be investigated by an independent body which is Lokpal," he said
     
Kejriwal was the second speaker this morning at 'Anna ki Paathshala' in Ramlila Maidan, as it is called by supercop Kiran Bedi. "If any judge is involved in corruption then seven-member Lokpal bench should be able to file an FIR against him," he said.
