New Delhi: With the Government in a fix over Anna Hazare's agitation over Lokpal issue, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday held discussions with senior government and party colleagues to discuss a way out.

The hour-long meeting of Congress Core Committee chaired by the Prime Minister was attended by all other members including Union Ministers Pranab Mukherjee, P Chidambaram, AK Antony and Gandhi's political secretary Ahmed Patel.

The meeting came against the backdrop of Hazare setting a deadline of Aug 30 for the government to get the Janlokpal Bill passed in Parliament by Aug 30 failing which he decided to continue his fast "till my last breath".

first of all the ego should be removedfrom the members.let the time tested principle of concilliation be practiced .they should knowthe mood ofthe nation in context of scams coming to light.inastead of two billd theory let there be one bill taking thedisputd points to the debate and finally a bill of trhis nature should be an unanimous approach.the nation expects so called intellectuals in the ruling party should come to their senses .this is an univesal problem corruption so the decisicion should be subject to universal law.

what is the outcome of the core group. 1) have they accepted their advertant blunder of attempting to suppress annaji`s movement? if answer is yes then, have decided upon penance for themselves for damage to the nation? if no how many anna they need to accept ground reality?
