Ramdev was waiting for Green signal from OP Pandey - Sources

by Cyclops

His methods may be controversial, but the public is with him once again mainly because of the belief that they have in him, BABA RAMDEV. The man who has been threatening the government with hunger strikes since the last couple of weeks. He finally starts today after the congress tried their luck at deferring the start by sending in a number of ministers to try and convince the baba. However the baba revealed today that Kapil Sibal and co. did not manage to stop him. He was waiting for his old chaddi-buddy, OP Pandey, who is a professor at Thapar. He made it clear today morning that Pandey was the one who gave him the vision and ideas and he was a friend who had stood by him in difficult times.

Ramdev went on to iterate stories of his bachpan, how both of them cheered for Eddie Guerrero every Monday night at RAW, their favorite show. And how on one particular Monday both of them didn't eat dinner after Eddie Guerrero was thrashed by Hulk Hogan. "Had I eaten food that painful night, I wouldn't have had the courage to gather the masses and instigate a nation-wide protest", he added, "I look up to Guerrero as my childhood idol, I still salute him for giving me all the courage I have today."

This might seem a little too much to gulp down for the Congress. As soon as Ramdev got the nod from Pandey, he decided to begin his fast along with Pandey bhai and thousands of others at the Ramlila ground in New Delhi. Pandey was quick to add, "Thapar University ki taraf se poora saport hai, humne Hazare ji ke time par bhi ek lambi daud lagayi thi mombati lekar, aur ab hum khud chalein aayein hain baba ke saath baithne ke liye. Apne bache ke liye Thapar ka form zaroor bhariyega (...)"

After successfully leading the agitation on Lokpal Bill, social activist Anna Hazare said in a exclusive interview that "It wouldn't have been possible without the support of the great youth of the country that stuck together in such hard times".

Showing full appreciation of the hard work put in by the hostellers, he declared them his leading source of inspiration. They flocked out in numbers after they realized that fasting was much simpler than eating mess food. Most of the youth at Thapar were rather thrilled to be associated with the great man himself.

by Cyclops

Yes, in a bizaare move on Saturday, the authorities at Thapar announced that the college will remain closed for two days after a great demonstration across the city by the students. Thousands of students gathered outside the gate on 6th April in a fight against corruption. This candle march went on upto Omaxe mall where they were supposedly heading for the 7.15 show of FALTU. But because the hall had only a few seats, a large number of disappointed faces were left out.The Thapar authorities were very pleased with how the students responded to a national war against corruption. And hence, they declared the college would observe two days celebration after Anna Hazare's needs were met by the government today. The two days being Tuesday and Thursday of next week.
