Now Endgame ;Govt draft includes Anna's demands

An end to the logjam over a strong Lokpal Bill may be in sight as the Government seems to have accepted the three key demands of Anna Hazare. The government's draft of the resolution includes the three key points - lower judiciary, citizens' charter and Lokayuktas in every state, according to sources. Hazare is likely to break his fasts after the draft resolution is adopted by Parliament.

Sources say that the Government may bring up the resolution between the ongoing discussion on the Lokpal Bill in Parliament on today.

We are not standing on prestige," Jaitley said after attending the meeting.

Meanwhile, members of Team Anna - Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi - have reached Khurshid's house to meet members from the Government.

Hazare has now been on fast for 12 days and the doctors on Saturday said that his blood pressure is going down.

The resolution may help in a breakthrough.
