Srinagar: Jammu and
Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday wondered whether
Team Anna will brand people in Mumbai "corrupt" for their measured
response to Anna Hazare's fast.
"So will Team Anna call all Mumbaikars corrupt, unpatriotic
thieves for their measured reaction to the tamasha (or) is that
just for politicians?" he posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Hazare called off his fast for a strong Lokpal bill Wednesday,
cutting short his three-day protest by a day.
