Zeenews Bureau New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev who had been detained by Delhi Police on Monday for leading protestors was taken to a makeshift jail in Ambedkar Stadium. He had earlier said that he will break his fast in jail. Ramdev was held for marching towards Parliament to seek the return of black money stashed abroad and an end to corruption
Speaking exclusively to Zeenews Baba Ramdev said, his ‘andolan’ is against corruption.
“Will go wherever police takes me,” Ramdev added. Police has setup a make-shift jail in Bhawana where Ramdev along with thousands of his supporters are being taken. Meanwhile, one bus carrying supporters has reached the make-shift jail.
“Andolan is not over I will come back,” Ramdev said.
Addressing the gathering, Gadkari told Ramdev that he was "not alone" in his fight and that his party had disrupted Parliament today on the issue of black money stashed away in foreign shores.
Meanwhile, thousands of supporters of Ramdev blocked arterial roads in central Delhi on Monday to stop the police from taking him to a temporary jail.
Ramdev and his supporters’ courted arrest after the police prevented them for continuing with their protest march.
As per reports, Ramdev may be looking at prolonging the impasse to further corner the central government on the issue.
Sporting a black bandana, Ramdev said, “We had to go till Parliament. All these protestors were marching peacefully; we never intend to resort to violence. Police is not allowing us to move forward but we are not protesting…we are being stopped at the behest of central government.”
The march was stopped at the Ranjit Singh flyover in central Delhi where the police had put up barricades to stop the march to Parliament 2.5 kilometeres away.
Earlier, he told his supporters, “The time to sit is over, now is the time to awake and stand up. As the next step we will march to the Parliament and sit on a dharna there, we will not lay siege to the Parliament but protest outside the Parliament.” The Parliament’s Monsoon Session is currently underway.
Openly attacking the Congress, Ramdev said the party has completely failed to curb corruption and has damaged the reputation of the country and called for the social and political boycott.
“Congress hahato aur desh bacahao….this is the new slogan,” Ramdev said, however, he quickly added that other parties will be included in the list soon.
Ramdev said that the battle has not ended but has started out on a bigger mission. “In the next Lok Sabha elections, this movement will put in all force to stop any corrupt from entering Parliament.
