India Against Corruption supporters worry for Anna Hazare's health

NAGPUR: As anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare joined the fast in the national capital, his supporters in Nagpur raised concerns over his health. On Sunday, the biggest topic for discussion at RBI Square protest site was about the Gandhian's jumping into the thick of things, and the toll this current indefinite fast would take on his health.

City coordinator for IAC Ajay Sanghi said, "We were always worried about Anna's health and in fact even Arvind Kejriwal yesterday expressed a deep concern. Kejriwal said that after independence we lost Mahatma Gandhi and it took decades before Anna came on the scene. Now after Anna we do not know how long it will take to have a national icon."

The last agitation by Anna in December had to be cut short after his health took a turn for the worse. Also the dwindling crowd support for the agitation is said to have played a major role in IAC's decision to pull the plug back then. This time Arvind Kejriwal led from the front by sitting on an indefinite fast giving some breathing space to Anna. But as TOI had reported earlier the Gandhian was forced to join the fray after the government did not heed to his demands.

Even with Anna leading the agitation, now crowd support is still not reflecting at the ground level. Though there was a decent crowd turnout on Sunday, IAC Nagpur has decided to innovate in trying to spread Anna's message across. About a thousands posters will be put at tea stalls across the city so that when people come there, they will come to know about Anna's plans to tackle corruption. Sanghi said, "The poster will have details on how Anna will deal with graft, about our current problems in the country etc. The basic idea is to get people talking about the issue for a few minutes. We are also urging them to spare some time and join us at RBI Square and give support in writing."

IAC youth members have also planned to visit colleges, hostels and other educational institutes and talk to them about giving support to Anna's cause.
