Kejriwal attacker threatens similar treatment to Anna

He said Anna Hazare ended his fast after the Prime Minister’s assurance that the Lokpal Bill would be passed in the winter session. “If Anna Hazare had no faith in the PM’s letter,he should have continued his fast,” Pathak said.

“After accepting the PM’s assurance,why did team Anna campaign against the Congress and release Anna Hazare’s taped message in Hisar?’’ he asked. “The campaign of team Anna has deviated from corruption to the Congress party,’’ he added.

Besides clarifying his position,Anna Hazare should demand registration of a case of sedition against Prashant Bhusan for demanding a plebiscite in Kashmir and demand lodging of a criminal case against Raj Thackeray for repeatedly targetting north Indians,Pathak said.

Pathak said he had been a member of the Congress Sewa Dal from 2006 to 2009. “Rahul Gandhi is my ideal but at present I am not associated with any political party,” he said.

A native of Jalaun district,Pathak resides in Patel Nagar area of Lucknow with his wife and eight-year-old daughter. He maintains accounts in the office of contractor. Expressing regret for attacking Kejriwal,Pathak said,“I was left with no option,I was not allowed to meet him. I had come to ask Kejriwal why team Anna was deviating from the anti-graft campaign.’’

He said he had participated in IAC’s programmes in Delhi and Lucknow.

IAC core committee member Sanjay Singh said,“I am not sure whether I have met Jeetendra in the past. Today I talked to him over the phone and assured to meet him to listen his complaints.”
