Ghaziabad, Oct 29 (IANS) Plagued by allegations of financial impropriety and discord among members, Team Anna’s core committee is meeting here Saturday with several key members like N. Santosh Hegde, Medha Patkar and Anna Hazare himself missing and demands for a new panel to be set up.
Kumar Vishwas, one of the key members, had Friday demanded creation of a new panel.
The meeting comes in the wake of allegations of financial impropriety against India Against Corruption (IAC) members Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi and the attack on another member, Prashant Bhushan, by right-wing activists over his comment suggesting a plebiscite on the Kashmir issue.
The meeting, being watched keenly in political circles, began at the office of the Public Cause Research Foundation — a trust run by Kejriwal — in suburban Ghaziabad town at 11 a.m.
The meeting is supposed to discuss the ‘smear campaign against the movement’, according to an IAC spokesperson.
