"Corruption, terrorism and communalism are on the rise in the country. A new front, Bhartiya Jan Andolan, will be launched to fight against these," Mufti Shamoon Qasmi told reporters in Bijnor.

He said members who had fallen out with Team Anna would be a part of this outfit, besides people from all social and economical classes.

Qasmi said he had learnt lessons from the "failure" of Team Anna's movement and would ensure that his movement is a "people's" movement.
