New Delhi:
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday met President Pratibha Patil and asked her to direct the Delhi Police to allow activist Anna Hazare to hold his fast for a more powerful anti-corruption Lokpal Bill.
Ramdev met the President at 11.45 am and submitted a memorandum supporting Hazare's fight against corruption.
"I have requested the President to intervene immediately to stop the government from taking unconstitutional and undemocratic steps," Ramdev told reporters outside Rashtrapati Bhavan.
He made an appeal to the President that Hazare be allowed to peacefully hold a fast in the Capital.
Ramdev had begun a fast against black money on June 4. But the protest ended in the early hours of June 5 with a post-midnight crackdown by police.
