Anna Hazare has been challenged by an unlikely opponent. The man who attackedArvind Kejriwal in Lucknow said he would prove that he was a bigger Gandhian than Hazare and his team.
In a letter to Anna on Saturday,Jitendra Pathak posed three questions to the Gandhian and threatened to go on an indefinite fast near Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Hazratganj, Lucknow, if he did not get a satisfactory reply within a week.
"I want to know why Anna remained silent when the Shiv Sena and MNS workers attacked and even killed north Indians living in Mumbai. I also want to know what he thinks of the violent attack on me by his supporters when I was trying to grab Kejriwal's attention to ask him why the team members had failed to come out with convincing proof against the corruption charges levelled against them. My third and last question is why Anna is not demanding action against Prashant Bhushan who wants yet another partition of India," Pathak, a former Congress Sewa Dal worker, said.
"I will observe an indefinite fast against him if he does not give a satisfactory reply within a week," he added.
Pathak claimed he had participated in Anna's movement at Jantar Mantar and the Ramlila grounds in New Delhi but is now disillusioned.
"The supporters of Anna can speak in a meeting only when they are asked to. Suppressing others' opinion and imposing the views of a few on lakhs of supporters is also a kind of violence," Pathak said.
