Anticipating that the Lok Pal Bill will be tabled in Parliament, Anna Hazare has cancelled his visit to Hyderabad and will return to Delhi to be in the House.

A Team Anna source said the septuagenarian activist has cancelled his tomorrow's function in Hyderabad and will return to the national capital.

The anti-graft crusader, who is currently in Chennai, had yesterday addressed a huge gathering in Bangalore.

"Anna wants to be in the visitors gallery in Parliament when the Lok Pal Bill is introduced there. It is speculated that government will bring the Lok Pal Bill tomorrow," the Team Anna member said.

The members of Team Anna's Core Committee will also accompany him to Parliament House complex on the day government plans to table the Bill.
