New Delhi: Setting the stage for a fresh showdown with the government, Anna Hazare and his supporters will go ahead with their protest at Jantar Mantar tomorrow despite Delhi Police refusing permission for their day-long fast.
A senior police official today said they have refused permission for the fast at the dharna hotspot while citing prohibitory orders at the site after the police action against Baba Ramdev in Ramlila Maidan on Sunday.
Sources said Delhi Police has already informed Hazare's team about the refusal of permission.
Police had on Sunday imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC in Jantar Mantar and other areas in New Delhi district following the midnight police action in Ramlila Maidan where Ramdev and his supporters were on an indefinite protest on black money and corruption issues.
