Team Anna rallies behind Kiran Bedi on privilege issue

Team Anna Hazare on Tuesday rallied behind its key member Kiran Bedi who is facing a breach of privilege notice in Parliament for making controversial remarks against MPs, warning such move will be  perceived by the people as lawmakers seek way to pay revenge on them.
A key team memmber, Arvind Kejriwal said that the entire team is solidly behind Bedi. He said that she will respond to the notice as and when the notice is received. The notice has not been received so far and it does not constitute the breach of privilege of Parliament.
Prashant Bhushan, Lawyer and another Anna Hazare Team member said the move to serve a notice to Bedi was unfortunate as she had not said anything which could be termed as a breach of privilege.
He claimed that there had also been talks that he and another member Arvind Kejriwal will also get privilege notices.
Bhushan told the reporters that perhaps the MPs are thinking that our fight is against MPs as we talk about their corruption. People will find it as a way for the MPs to seek revenge.
Bedi, the former IAS officer said on Monday that she was not going to apologise and  was prepared for any punishment.
In contrast to Bedi's stand, actor Om Puri, who was facing the breach of privilege notice, apologised for using derogatory remarks to put down the political class.
