Will invite Army Chief and Hazare for June dharna: Ramdev

Patna, Apr 5: Yoga guru Ramdev today said he would invite Army Chief Gen VK Singh and anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare to participate in his proposed June three dharna at New Delhi.

Claiming that the Army Chief had once visited his Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar with friends and since then was associated with him, Ramdev said he would invite Gen Singh to his one-day dharna.

"Anna Hazare will also be with us," he claimed. Like-minded leaders of political parties would also be invited to pressurise the government to bring back blackmoney stashed abroad, he said.

Ramdev also claimed that he had received a call from RJD supremo Lalu Prasad this morning apologising for his remarks against him earlier.

The yoga guru said that he told Prasad that when he had not committed any mistake, then there was no point in apologising.
