Full Text: PM's reply to Anna Hazare's letter
New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has written back to Anna Hazare after the activist wrote to the PM expressing his unhappiness over the conditional permission given by the Delhi Police for his August 16 fast over Lokpal Bill. In his letter, Dr Singh has asked Mr Hazare to approach the statutory authorities.

Here's the full text of the PM's letter:

I have received your letter, carrying the date 14th August, 2011 and carefully read its contents.

Your grievance that the police has given you permission to protest and go on fast at JP Park only for three days needs to be addressed by the statutory authorities who have taken that decision. My Office does not in any way get involved in the decision making process. The terms and conditions on which you are entitled to carry on with your protest are decided by the statutory authorities concerned taking into account the prevailing circumstances and other relevant factors.

I would request you to address your grievances to the statutory authorities concerned.

We are all committed to the Constitution of India and to uphold it both in letter and spirit.
