New Delhi: Signs of differences seems to be prevailing with Justice Santosh Hegde along with another associate, Agnivesh over the continuance of fast within the Hazare camp. They at present want Hazare to call off the hunger strike. Hegde, a member of the joint drafting committee on Lokpal Bill articulated "I feel I am not in Team Anna any more by the way things are going. These are not democratic things."

On the 11th day of the fast, Agnivesh has also made it clear that any appearance of threats to Parliament is not becoming of a Gandhian.

"This is some sort of, seen as a threat to Parliament ‘you do it by tomorrow or day after’. This is not becoming of a Gandhian fast or a moment. So this was the right moment to call it off," said Agnivesh.

Former Chief Justice of India J S Verma by appealing Hazare to end his fast in view of government’s decision to discuss Jan Lokpal in Parliament has said that continuation of Gandhian’s fast may not appear "reasonable". "In my view, there is no justification at least now for the continuance of the fast undertaken by Hazare and I appeal to him to end his fast forthwith in keeping with the national sentiments and concern for his health", he added further.

In fact actress and social activist Shabana Azmi has also asked Anna to end his fast, saying that insisting on the Jan Lokpal Bill is not right. Moreover she also mentioned that Anna’s call against corruption has taken the shape of a movement and he has made a point, but insisting on Jan Lokpal Bill is not right as the supremacy of Parliament in a democracy cannot be challenged.
