Former Team Anna member and social activist Swami Agnivesh has said, he had recorded his dissenting note in the minutes of Team Anna's core committee as he did not want Anna to sit on fast unto death. Replying to questions from Rajat Sharma in India TV's Aap Ki Adalat show, Swami Agnivesh described in details his differences with Team Anna during Anna Hazare's fast at Ramlila Maidan. “You can call it dissent, which is essential in a democracy”, he said.
