Anna hazare controversy

  • Differences between Anna Hazare and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to fore today when its leader Gopal Rai tried to interrupt former General V K Singh's speech at the venue and was soundly rebuffed for the unseemly conduct. Anna Hazare has been on indefinite hunger strike demanding passage in Parliament of the Jan Lokpal Bill.
  • "Why are you interrupting him? If you want to create a ruckus, you can go out of the village," Anna Hazare told Rai.
  • "It is not right to interrupt when someone is speaking," he added.
  • Anna Hazare publicly rebuked Rai, asking him to leave the venue if he went ahead with disrupting the former Army chief's speech.
  • Singh, who was sharing stage with Hazare, said, "We should not split and form different groups in our fight against corruption."
  • The AAP leader raised some objections, which led to a heated argument between him and Gen Singh, following which the septuagenarian asked Rai to immediately leave the village.
  • "We have not asked you to fast, if you want to create such noise then you can leave Ralegan Siddhi," Anna Hazare told the AAP member.
  • The anti-graft crusader, whose fast entered fourth day today, has parked himself near the Yadav Baba temple at Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district, under the banner of 'Jantantra Morcha'.
  • The 76-year-old Gandhian said he will not break his fast till the Jan Lokpal Bill is passed in Parliament.
