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.
