Union Home Secretary R K Singh on Wednesday said social activist Anna Hazare is free to go wherever he wants to Talking to reporters here, Singh said: " Anna Hazare is free to go and Delhi Police is talking to him." When asked whether Anna can go to JP Park, Singh said, "Delhi Police will take a decision on whether Hazare will be allowed to hold a protest at JP Park." Hazare and key aide Arvind Kejriwal spent Tuesday night in the conference room of the Director General (Prisons) of Tihar Jail and reportedly slept barely for about four hours. He continues to be on a fast inside the prison premises after turning down the release order sent by the government. The 74-year old social activist was picked up at 7.30 a.m from Mayur Vihar in east Delhi after he refused to be persuaded by the Delhi Police officials who urged him not to undertake the fast since it would be in violation of prohibitory orders. Hazare and his aides including Arvind Kejriwal, were first taken to the Delhi Police Officers'' Mess in North Delhi and were shifted after Hazare''s supporters gathered in a large numbers at the Civil Lines areas. The social activist was later taken to Rajouri Garden police station in West Delhi where a Special Executive Magistrate remanded him to seven days'' judicial custody. The decision to remand him came after Hazare refused to sign a personal bond undertaking that he will not defy the prohibitory orders and hold protests.
