Is Team Anna divided over bringing the Prime Minister under Lokpal's ambit? Two of Anna Hazare supporters - Swami Agnivesh and Arvind Kejriwal - have divergent views on the issue pointing towards a difference in opinion among the civil society members on the issue.

"It is not a very sticky point for us. Corruption at the lower level of bureaucracy is the first and the foremost which concerns the common people of this country," Agnivesh told CNN-IBN when asked if including the Prime Minister under Lokpal's ambit was a major issue for the civil society members.

However, Kejriwal has made it clear that will be no negotiation on the issue.

"We are not ready to compromise with anyone till our demands are met. The deadlock continues. We are open for any dialogue but there is no invitation from the government yet," he replied when asked about Agnivesh's comments.

Adopting a tough posture, Team Anna on Wednesday asked a parliamentary panel to recommend to the government to withdraw the Lokpal Bill and come out with a fresh measure which deals with problem of corruption faced by the public.

Social activist Hazare said though the decision of the parliamentary committee to study the Jan Lokpal bill along with the government legislation was a "good thing", he would continue with his August 16 indefinite fast if the panel did not take a decision by that date.

"My fast is against the government and not Parliament," he said.

Hazare said that his fast is against the government and not the Parliament.

Hazare, senior lawyer Shanti Bhushan, his son Prashant, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi on Wednesday appeared before the Standing Committee on Personnel and Law Justice to put forth their views on the government Lokpal Bill.

The Lokpal Bill, introduced in Lok Sabha on August 4, has been referred to the Standing Committee on August 8 by Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari who has given it three months to give recommendations.
