Arundhati on Anna







Writer Arundhati Roy has questioned the intentions of social activist Anna Hazare in asking people to vote against the Congress in the Hisar Lok Sabha bypoll. “Is he really fighting against corruption by taking such an approach?” Arundhati asked. She said, “Team Anna must have its homework on corruption cut out and ensure that other candidates do not indulge in it.” Roy said Anna must ensure he was against corruption and not a particular party. Known for her controversial views on sundry issues, Arundhati had earlier condemned Hazare’s style when he fasted at Delhi’s Ramlila ground in August for the Jan Lokpal bill. She had said Anna wasn’t secular and he may be a Gandhian but his ways were not. Arundhati added that Anna and his team must not indulge in politics.
