Quote:The yoga guru, though, turned down the PMââ¬â¢s appeal, saying he wanted specific laws that tackled black money and corruption. His demands include bringing back black money stashed abroad, and drafting a strong lokpal bill.
The PM on Tuesday said, "I had written to him (Ramdev) that I agree with your anxiety on corruption... The question is what is possible and feasible... It is not a divisive issue."
"There is still time (to talk to Ramdev)ââ¬Â¦ We have been in touch (with him)," he said in reply to a question about Ramdevââ¬â¢s impending fast.
The PMââ¬â¢s letter to Ramdev said,"We are committed to dealing with the problem of corruption, black moneyââ¬Â¦ and illicit fundsââ¬Â¦ in foreign banks."
