PEOPLES ANGER – MP WITHDRAW             In the face of anger in the public over the privilege notices issued Anna's aides, Praveen Aron, Member, Lok Sabha belonging to Congress, withdrew his notice on the members of team Anna namely Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal.  He also withdrew notice against Om Puri. Aron said that he would try to persuade other MPs for withdrawing notices.   Earlier, Kiran Bedi said that she stand with his act and others asked the specific details about the breach committed by them.  Many consider this a feud between the people, who are real and their representatives, their servants but consider themselves their real owner for five years.   The full news from ToI dtd 8.9.11 (Page 14): Congress MP withdraws privilege notice against Anna's aides   NEW DELHI: Congress MP Pravin Aron withdrew his privilege notice against associates of Anna Hazare, saying they were using serious parliamentary activity to gain cheap publicity. Aron wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar that he was withdrawing his notice seeking action against Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan and Om Puri. He said instead of seeking action on privilege front, he would try to expose their "real face" through democratic means. The privilege notices were served against Anna's associates for comments they made during the Gandhian's protest fast at the Ramlila Maidan. The decision to withdraw the motion is in sync with reservations in certain sections of the ruling camp about hauling up civil society activists for breach of privilege. It is felt the notice to Anna's aides gave an impression of vendetta and would fuel more anger against the government. Congress managers have thus been keen that there should not be any hasty action against Anna's aides. Even Aron said he would try to persuade other MPs for withdrawing notices. Ten MPs across partylines had moved privilege motion in the Lok Sabha.
