New Delhi, Sep 3 (IANS) Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan Saturday said he has received a breach of privilege notice for his remarks against MPs and will respond to it. He further added that he stands by his statement.
'I have received the notice and will respond to it. I stand by my statement and don't think it amounts to breach of privilege,' Bhushan told a TV channel.
He was served notice for alleging that members of parliament take bribes to pass laws. He has been asked to file a reply by Sep 14.
Former top cop Kiran Bedi, another aide of activist Anna Hazare, also faces a privilege motion for her remarks against parliamentarians. Addressing the Ramlila Maidan gathering, she accused politicians of wearing 'several masks' at the same time, drawing the ire of MPs in both houses of parliament.
Affirming that she stood by whatever she had said, Bedi said Friday: 'If I get a notice, I would say I am sorry I will not be able to say sorry. If I get an opportunity, I will go before the Committee and will show a bigger mirror to Parliament.'
'The truth has to be said, which was needed, and I stand by it. You should see what is happening in parliament. Slippers were exchanged in the Rajasthan assembly,' she added.

Have you heard of the catastrophe of the man who rid a tiger? Let us connect the dots: Anna team takes full support of the RSS to see that the anti-corruption movement they is successful. The Organization was more than happy to extend full support for obvious reasons. After all, investigative agencies have started closing in the perpetrators of home grown terror. Till then it is smooth ride for both outfits. But then, Kejriwal and associates decides to campaign against Congies in the bi-election knowing very well that it will benefit the Saffron party. A cleaver by half step only a RSS minded person can think of. Prasant and a few others were not ready for this. They decided to keep away from the electoral campaign. That did not go well with the RSS who had invested so much in making the anti-corruption campaign a successful one. They waited till the last day of the canvassing and then decided to send a strong message to Mr. Prasant and company. Don't mess with us. If we can bomb trains and mosques, teaching you a good lesson for your miss-deeds is cake walk for us. Well, this is what happens when you ride a tiger. The earlier we know our enemy within the better.
