Power from Aam-admi; Anna Hazare calls Chidambaram 'a liar'

Pune, Sep 2: Anna Hazare, during his first public appearance after his 13-day-long fast at Ramlila, hurled a strong attack at the Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram. Criticising the government's action against Team Anna, 74-year-old Gandhian called Chidambaram "a liar".

"Home Minister is a liar, he does not speak the truth. The government is betraying from day one of the Lokpal Bill," Anna said.

Trying to explain the glory to go to jail for the cause of the country, the anti-corruption crusader said, "If you fight for your country and get jailed, it's a blessing," and also asserted, "I had decided I will go to jail to continue my fight."

Urging the youths of the country to participate in the battle to uproot corruption from the nation, Anna claimed, "Some of us have to sacrifice to ensure benefit for future generation. It's not enough to say I am Anna; one has to change their character. I believe even if a little change can be done, it's always good."

Showing a real path to receive freedom in the true sense of the term, Anna said, "Youth power is national power. The day the youth is awakened, true freedom will come."
