He
said the government was not involved in any discussion with Team Anna
and it was the Delhi Police which held the talks and resolved the issue
amicably.
"The
Delhi Police discussed with Team Anna and, thereafter, they have come
to a decision. What the Delhi Police conveyed to the Ministry of Home
Affairs is that the permission was given till September two on the usual
sort of conditions," he told reporters in New Delhi on Thursday.
Singh
said it was not proper to say the agreement was a victory for one side
and defeat for the other "but the basic issue was that permission for
certain ground and certain period was given with some sort of
conditions. If someone is saying that this is a victory or something,
this is not the right way to say. This is not a question of victory or
defeat," he said.
The Home Secretary said conditions of a particular ground mandated a certain size of crowd as well as of available parking.
"An
agreement has been reached on another ground and the size of that
ground is much larger. So the size of the crowd does not matter," the
Home Secretary said, referring to Ramlila Maidan.
He
said, "Conditions are there. Some conditions remain same. For example,
the condition of using loud speakers remains the same as the condition
imposed for the earlier ground. The condition that the doctors will
examine remains the same. Doctors will examine. The organisers and the
Delhi Police have agreed to these conditions."
Singh
said Team Anna has to make its own arrangements on basic issues and
whenever the ground would be ready, they would go there.
"The issue has been resolved by the Delhi Police through negotiation and through complete understanding. It was good," he said.
Meanwhile,
team Anna Hazare has indicated that it may not insist on the judiciary
being brought under the ambit of the Lokpal if the govt brings out a
good Judicial Accountability Bill.
"PM
has to be within the ambit of the Lokpal. As far as the judiciary is
concerned, if a good Judicial Accountability bill can be brought along
with the Jan Lokpal Bill then we are open to it," he told reporters
outside Tihar jail on Thursday.
