Anna wants tribals, Dalits, youth in panel

Ralegan Siddhi : In yet another shift on revamping the core committee
of his team, Anna Hazare today said he planned to give representation
to all sections of society such as religious minorities, tribals,
Dalits and the youth.
"When the core committee was formed, there were complaints from some
sections that they were not given representation. With the new core
committee, there will be no room for such complaints," Hazare said in
Ralegan Siddhi.
At the time of his Ramlila protest, SC/ST groups had complained that
Team Anna's agenda had no space for minorities.
Hazare declined to give a time frame for the new core committee. It
was more important to have people of high integrity as members than
concentrating on the time taken to formulate it, he said.
A week ago, amid talk of a revamp in the core committee following
allegations against several of its members, Team Anna had said that
the current panel would stay, that they would formulate a new
"constitution" and that changes would be made in accordance with it.
Over the weekend, there was a war of words between Hazare and his
blogger Raju Parulekar, with the latter posting an 'earlier' post in
which the activist said he wanted to revamp the panel. Hazare said
these were not his final views.
Today, Hazare said he wanted the new committee to also be a lot
"younger" than the present one. His aide Dada Pathare said the
situation had changed from two and a half months ago when the core
committee was formed. "They did a very good job, but the situation has
changed. The goals have widened and there is a need to increase the
scope of the core committee," Pathare said.
Hazare said the Congress was targeting his team out of fear. "Unka
khaana band ho jayega (They will not be able to continue taking
bribes)."
