New Delhi was thrown into chaos with Baba Ramdev, courting arrest while trying to march towards Parliament with a call for an "all-out war" against the Congress on the issue of black money and corruption. Baba Ramdev actually refused to be taken to Bawana on the outskirts of Delhi, and insisted that all his supporters accompany him. He forced the police to change course and take him & his followers to centrally located Ambedkar Stadium under preventive detention. Ramdev Baba and his supporters were let off after 6 hours of arrest, they refused to leave the stadium. Till late evening, they stayed put inside demanding that the government heed their demands. The Yoga guru declared that he would not break his fast till Tuesday Night.
There saw, Police officers pleading with him to vacate the stadium as it is close to Red Fort, where tomorrow Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh will hoist flag at 8:00 morning. Ramdev asked the govt to immediately provide sufficient food and water to his supporters. "Such an irony of this country is that while terrorists like Ajmal Kasab were being given biryani for food, desh bhakht like me & thousands with me are not even given water & basic facilities" Ramdev said.
He was also backed by leaders of BJD, Akali Dal & Janata Party leaders, who shared the dais with him and pledged their support to his cause.
