People misbehave with women journalists at Jantar Mantar

The Team Anna's protests at the Jantar Mantar, against the UPA governmets and the corruptions in its reign had reached the third day was still not being supported by people in numbers. Few people have been reported to misbehave with the female journalists at the site.

There were no more than 300 people before afternoon when Anna Hazare had took to the dias, beside his aides at Jantar Mantar. The site looked deserted apart from the people near the dias.

Aravind Kejriwal took to the dias though his health started to deteriorate with the prevailing diabetic condition. Other key members like Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai sat with Hazare. Kiran Bedi was not present as she was in Pune for two speaking appointments that she had given prior to the decision of the protest. "Perhaps a break of a different kind" she said in her latest tweet.
While Hazare made his way to the stage, many men pushed the women media persons and misbehaved with them. The journalist have also lodged a complaint with the police. The organisers had asserted that such miscreants weren't  part of the protests and were external foces trying to disrupt the fast. They also urged the police to immediately take action on such peole.
The lack of crowd suggested that the movement had lost its steam. Hazare had also not taken the side of his aides in assaulting allegations against the President Pranab Mukherjee as he congratulated him on assuming the highest office.
