Hazare enters cyberworld attacking govt agents

New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) Entering the cyberworld with a
blog and a twitter account, India's civil society activist
Anna Hazare on Thursday accused "some government agents" of
creating an image that it was due to their "favourite
ministers" that he gave up his fast in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan
in August.
"It was only when my inner voice permitted me I broke my
fast after getting assurance from the government. The reason I
am clearing the misconceptions here is I came to understand
some government agents tried to propagate and create an image
that it was the handiwork of their favourite ministers that I
gave up my fast.
"I came across articles of self-praise, interviews
published by them. This is a false propaganda," Hazare said in
his multi-lingual blog http://annahazaresays.wordpress.com/.
Giving some insight into what transpired before he called
off his 12-day-old fast for a strong anti-graft Bill, Hazare
wrote that the government had tried to break the movement till
the last minute.
As talks progressed regarding calling off his fast, he
said, the people who came to meet his team members had
"different versions, different assurances.
"It was the responsibility of the government that they
scrutinise the people they had sent for negotiations, whether
they were corrupt or had clean image. That was for the
Government to think. I held talks with them considering they
were Government representatives! The answers lay with the
government," he said.
After Hazare called off the fast, questions have been
raised, particularly in media interviews, over the
participation of Union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, who is
facing allegations in Adarsh scam, in mediation.
Noting that Parliament gave an assurance that they would
put forward some of his demands from the Janlokpal Bill and
get them approved, Hazare said the assurance does not
necessarily mean law.
He said his movement is not over yet just because he
ended his fast on Ramlila grounds and urged his supporters to
continue the nation-wide non-violent revolution.
"People belonging to various political parties are not
aware of the boiling volcano in minds of the common man
against their corrupt ways and super-luxurious way of life. I
believe, very soon they will come face-to-face with the
reality and this will be done by the people and the youth of
India," he said.
