Salman Khursheed In Aap Ki Adalat

Law Minister Salman Khursheed has admitted that the decision to arrest anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on August 16 was not right. Grilled by Rajat Sharma in India TV show Aap Ki Adalat, Khursheed was asked pointblank whether the decision was right or wrong, he replied: "Had it been a right decision, the prosecutor would have opposed his release. He would not have told the magistrate after 2-3 hours that keeping Hazare in custody would not help in maintaining peace."
