The 72-year-old social activist Anna Hazare and his team  met at  Shanti Bhushan's residence in the national capital to decide the strategy and the venue  for their  August 16 agitation to build pressure on the government  to bring strong Lokpal bill.

The government is trying to create misunderstanding in the minds of the people before our fast, which will be the second struggle for freedom, he said.

Hazare has vowed to launch a hunger strike from Aug 16 at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the capital.

It was after his first fast, which lasted five days and triggered widespead support in the country, that the government set up a 10-member panel to frame an effective Lokpal bill.

After Tuesday's last meeting between the government and the civil society, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal had said that while the government wanted a strong Lokpal, we cannot have a parallel government.

Hazare said it was also important to bring the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the Lokpal to uproot corruption in the country.
