India TV News  

Thiruvananthapuram, June 9: BJP today sought to distance itself from yoga guru Baba Ramdev's plan to set up a force as part of his anti-corruption crusade, saying the party never propagates violence. “We will not support anything like that as the party never propagates violence,” BJP national spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said at a meet-the-press programme here. He said BJP would extend moral support to anybody who will come forward to fight corruption and rejected Home Minister P Chidambaram's charge that civil rights activist Anna Hazare and Ramdev were masks of RSS. He said the party also wanted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to apologise to the nation for the police action during Ramdev's fast.
