Hectic political parleys continued till late Thursday night to persuade Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev to call off his proposed indefinite hunger strike beginning tomorrow in New Delhi. The Congress party and the government held consultations at the highest level to avert any Anna Hazare-like protest on the streets. Indications that both the sides were in serious discussions came when Baba Ramdev called-off a press conference scheduled on Thursday evening at Ramlila Maidan where he is to sit on fast. After reports that the civil society is divided on the Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare on Thursday announced that he will join Ramdev's protest on Sunday.
