New Delhi, April 06: Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare today told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that insinuations that his fast was instigated were an “insult” to his wisdom, as political leaders wanting to make common cause with the social activist were shouted out by his supporters.
With the fast unto death by 72-year-old Hazare entering the second day, Government made attempts to mollify him but he showed no signs of calling off his stir after his campaign gained momentum in the Capital and other parts of the country.
After being targeted by Hazare, Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said he would be happy if he was relieved from all Ministerial Panels including that on corruption.
