Will announce future course of action today: Ramdev

Ramdev and few thousand of his supporters stay put at the football stadium in central Delhi throughout the night, refusing to vacate it and declaring that he will announce his future course of action today.

Addressing his supporters early morning, the Yoga guru said history will be created today and he will announce his next course of action before noon. Ramdev went around the Ambedkar Stadium meeting his supporters who had gathered there since last evening.

Ramdev held an early morning strategy session with his close aides to fine tune the future course of his protest. He had last night rejected an appeal by police to vacate the stadium flagging concerns ahead of Independence Day as the facility was near Red Fort where the nationals celebrations.

The Yoga guru yesterday adopted a vigorous anti-Congress stand in his protest against blackmoney and was arrested during a march to Parliament but late in the night he refused to quit the stadium from where he and his few thousand supporters were released.

Giving a slogan 'Congress hatao, desh bachao' (Remove Congress, Save the Country), Ramdev ended his five-day protest with a call to his supporters to march to Parliament for a dharna demanding immediate steps to bring back blackmoney stashed abroad.

His protest fast was marked by dilly-dallying over the last three days as he deferred announcing his strategy in the face of central government's total indifference to his agitation against corruption.
