New Dehi: In a fresh
political offensive against Anna Hazare, Congress general
secretary Digvijay Singh accused the crusader of being associated
with the right-wing Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The BJP retorted,
saying the Congress has "lost its mind".
"And he denied any association with RSS! Now whom do we believe
Facts with Picture and the claim of RSS or Anna? I am again proved
right", Singh tweeted, referring to Hazare's photograph with RSS
leader Nanaji Deshmukh in a Hindi daily.
Hazare worked under the leadership of Deshmukh, it reported.
"He (Nanaji) was an RSS activist and at a later date renounced
politics and took up social work. The point I want to make is why
does Anna Hazare not accept it," Singh told reporters later.
Another Congress leader, Rashid Alvi, also attacked Anna Hazare,
who is set to go on a three-day fast in Mumbai Dec 27-29.
"Anna should come clean on his links with the RSS. Which ideology
does Anna follow, is it his personal decision? But there should be
some honesty about it; people have the right to know what your
ideology is. People must know," Rashid Alvi told reporters here.
The BJP strongly reacted to the Congress statements.
"The Congress has lost its mind. And it is because of their
frustration that they are talking rubbish and asking inane
questions which need not be answered," BJP's Prakash Javadekar
told reporters Sunday.
Meanwhile, Team Anna Member Arvind Kejriwal supported Hazare
saying that he is an "agent" of the country.
"It is not a battle for Lokpal it's a battle of people. They keep
saying that that Ann is RSS agent or BJP agent. Anna is agent of
this country. They keep levelling baseless charges against him
because they have nothing against him. "
Kiran Bedi, another Team Anna member, tweeted: "Does sharing of
the dais make one each other's agent. Next time should one sit
alone? When two persons share a dais do they become each others
agents?"
