We are with Anna Hazare & his mission

Please follow TIMES NOW, CNN IBN – or any other national channel for updates. Listen to Anna’s address to the nation before arrest.

Anna Hazare did not court arrest by himself. He was arrested by 3 plainclothes policemen from a house in Mayur Vihar at 7 am even before he started his non-violent, protest by fasting. Arvind Kejriwal was also arrested. Later Kiran Bedi and Shanti Bhushan courted arrest.

It is shameful! It shows how terrified the state is of one old man. The state is afraid because of the immense support from people from all around the country. More and more people are joining the protestors in support of Anna Hazare—school children, workers, civilians, IT personnel – from Bangalore, Kerala, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai are coming forward.

‘Nation cannot tolerate this dictatorship’ – said Prashant Bhushan, it is illegal, unconstitutional – there was no 144 in that area. There was no violence or fear of violence. Already more than 2500 supporters have been arrested and kept in Chhatrasal stadium near Delhi University.

This fight against corruption has no political color. This is not a time to talk about Congress or BJP; it is a struggle for freedom from corruption. Government’s Lokpal Bill is an ineffectual farce.

So we want all to unite in this historical movement against corruption, and demand for a clearer and stronger Lokpal bill.

We pronounce our hundred percent support for Team Anna.

প্রধানমন্ত্রী জোর করে মানুষের ইচ্ছার বিরুদ্ধে যেন-তেন প্রকারেণ একটি অসম্পূর্ণ লোকপাল বিল চাপিয়ে দিতে চাইছেন, এই বিল আমরা মানি না, যদি দুর্নীতির বিরুদ্ধে প্রধানমন্ত্রী এতই সক্রিয় তাহলে আন্না হাজারে এবং তাঁর সমর্থকদেরকে পুলিস দিয়ে গ্রেফতার করছেন কেন? এটাই কি গণতন্ত্রের নমুনা? “আমরা আন্না হাজারে বা দুর্নীতির বিরুদ্ধে যে কোনও আন্দোলনের পাশে আছি।

Strongly condemn the arrest of Anna and claim his immediate release unconditionally. A bunch of corrupt and shameless persons are roaming around us, even governing the states and country gaining people’s mandate and the real patriots like Anna are cooling their heels in jails. It’s really shameful to watch. Civil society activist, intellectuals and people from all quarters of society should come forward against this state sponsored violence against its own citizens. Let the movement not be defused like many others that we have witnessed. Be careful about government’s intention to malign the movement slamming corruption charges on Anna.

yes i am with anna hazare. not only me but many people like me are with annaji.i feel that each and every common man is with him. only a few group of people for thier selfish motives are against him. they also know that the benefit is not long lasting as the history is in front of everybody. crowd and attitude will change as annaji will start gaining success in his mission. after having a view of each and every incident accross the world if a person does not realises the danger of corruption and selfishness then such a nation deserves to be a slavery and nothing else. mughals, british, portugese, and now ******* the world knows who it is. there is something that we should learn from the muslims too. that is unity and faith. else get ready to give your childrens a life of slavery and shamefulness.
