Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare and his team have been watching the government's actions on the Lokpal Bill very closely. An unimpressed Team Anna has indicated they will take a final call on their next protest after the debate in Parliament. This time Anna's proposed fast could even be in Mumbai, as suggested by Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal.

Team Anna has also booked Azad Maidan in Mumbai for Anna Hazare's fast on December 27, which will depend on the developments in Parliament, said Kejriwal.
The core committee will be meeting for the second consecutive day to discuss its next move on Thursday.

Arvind Kejriwal has indicated that the Team may visit Parliament to observe the debate if the Lokpal Bill is introduced on the December 20.
Meanwhile, Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party is planning to protest at Parliament for a quota for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes in the Lokpal.
The Lokpal all-party meeting on Wednesday remained inconclusive with no consensus yet. It now remains to be seen whether the Lokpal Bill will be passed in the winter session and what will be Anna's next move.
