Swami Agnivesh, a core member of Team Anna, said the government has indicated keenness to enter into negotiations with them, but it is at a very "unofficial" stage.
"But we cannot say to what extent that there is a desire from central ministers who got in touch with me and they say they are very soon going to talk to the Prime Minister.
Yesterday night, there was a meeting," he told reporters at the Ramlila Maidan here.
He also said there were a series of meetings on the issue at the government-level.
"And hopefully they have agreed to introduce Jan Lokpal Bill. If it is done that will be the first step to restore confidence and trust. Then only some talks can being," Agnivesh said.
He said the Hazare group was not by anyway talking of withdrawing the agitation or fast.
"Unless there is something concrete in writing then only we will take some decision," he said.
