Anna Hazare may become a 2nd Amitabh Bachchan, fears Modi

Ahmedabad, Apr 11: The Gandhian crusader Anna Hazare has already faced enough criticism over praising Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Congress MP Rashid Alvi chided, "no secular person in the country can support Modi, If you support Modi, you are supporting the massacre of 2002." Now, Modi feared that Hazare's condition may become like Bollywood super star Amitabh Bachachan.

Hazare, recently in a media conference stated, "State chief ministers must learn from the work done by the chief ministers of Gujarat and Bihar." Showing his respect to the 72-year-old social-activist, Modi on Monday, Apr 11 has written an open letter to Hazare.

In his letter to Hazare, Modi expressed his concern for the crusader and remembered the dire consequences of some persons for praising Modi and his state. Modi feared, "whosoever talks good of Gujarat he or she will be subjected to the vilification campaign."

Amitabh Bachchan, who worked free for Gujarat Tourism, was attacked by a group of inimical forces, Modi mentioned in his letter and also mentioned, "They spread falsehoods against Bachchan so as to snap his old ties with Gujarat. At a public function in Mumbai where Bachchan was invited this group had stopped him from entering." (Read: Modi dubs those against Big B as 'Taliban')

Continuing his list of the people with "bad luck," Modi mentioned, "Maulana Ghulam Vastanavi of Gujarat, who was elected as head of the Darul Uloom of Deoband, was also subjected to vilification campaign when he praised the development of Gujarat."

"Recently, Major General IS Sinha (sic) of Golden Katara division of Indian Army when he praised the development of Gujarat he too was beleaguered by the same forces and there was even a demand for disciplinary action against the major general," added Modi.

However, expressing his concern about Hazare's fate, the Gujarat CM has written, "I am still afraid that, this group will put you in trouble. May God give you strength."
