New Delhi:
Gandhian activist Anna Hazare and Yoga guru Baba Ramdev are holding a day-long fast in Delhi today as a mark of their protest against corruption and black money. Here are the highlights of what Anna Hazare said:
- The whole country is my family. We will fight the goondas in India.
- I do not ask anyone to emulate me.
- Sacrifices have to be made to achieve a great goal.
- I do not even know the names of my brother's children.
- We are talking of changing the country; that is not impossible.
- I will fight till the end (against corruption).
- Be part of a larger family, give a few hours to social service.
- Words will not suffice, Words have to match deeds.
- Development based on exploitation is not correct.
- If there are eight candidates and all of them are goondas, then voters should have the right to say we do not like any of them.
