Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal today said their fight for a strong Jan Lok Pal Bill was in the decisive stage and advocated the path of non-violence for achieving the objective.

"We want a strong Jan Lok Pal Bill and for this we have to follow the path of peace and non-violence as some persons are trying to physically disturb the Team," he told reporters here.

"The attack on me is by those who favour corruption and those who termed Anna Hazare as dictator and released a CD for character assassination of Prashant and Shanti Bhushan," the social activist said.
On Rajendra Singh and Rajgopal leaving the Team, Kejriwal said they were not attending the Anna Team meetings and were not aware of its activities.

"We will talk on the issue later," he said. Team Anna did not have affiliation with any political party but it had asked the people not to vote for the Congress to pressurise it for bringing the Jan Lok Pal Bill, Kejriwal said.

He said if the bill was not brought in the winter session of Parliament, they would restart the agitation.
