Crackdown on Ramdev unwarranted; PM, Sonia responsible: Poll

UPA Government ministers and Congress party spokesmen have been coming up with a variety of justifications for the brutal midnight assault on yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his peaceful supporters in Ramlila Maidan in Delhi last Saturday. But an outraged public which saw it all play out on television is having none of it.
This is evident from an opinion poll conducted by LensOnNews among a cross sectional sample of 850 respondents across four major cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad – from June 7 to 9. Incidentally, the Congress and allies are the ruling party in the state in all the four cities where the poll was conducted. As many as 78% of the respondents felt that the police action against the Baba was unwarranted, against only 17% who felt there may be some justification. The poll findings carry a margin of error of 5 per cent.
