Baba Ramdev to launch ‘Satyagraha against Corruption’

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev will launch the next phase of nationwide people’s movement ‘Satyagraha against Corruption’ in the capital on June 4 after completing his ‘Bharat Swabhiman Yatra’.

The yoga guru’s spokesperson S K Tijarawala said Baba Ramdev would announce the launch of the mass movement — Satyagraha against Corruption — next week.

“The satyagraha will start from June 4,” he said in a statement.

Ramdev will also write a letter to Prime Minister on three issues — on creating the institution of an independent, impartial and effective Lok Pal, getting back black money stashed in tax heavens and to replace the British system of governance, taxation, education, law and order by ‘swadeshi’.

Asked whether Baba Ramdev was delinking himself with Anna Hazare’s movement by announcing a satyagraha, Tijariwala said that was not the case.

“Hazare’s agitation was on the single issue of Lokpal. We have to take the agitation to the next level,” he said.
