Anna Hazare Plans to Rope in Aamir Khan for his Movement


Mumbai, Oct 28 (PTI): Veteran social activist Anna Hazare is likely to rope in Bollywood actor Aamir Khan for the new phase of his movement, which he plans to launch in January.

Hazare would speak to Aamir in this regard after the actor returns from Haj pilgrimage, sources close to the anti-graft crusader told PTI.

Aamir's hugely popular TV show "Satyamev Jayate" had raised public awareness about various social issues and this perhaps has prompted Hazare to think about roping in the Bollywood star to popularise the subjects he wants to take up as part of his movement, the sources said.

Aamir had shared the dais with Hazare during the latter's agitation in Delhi last year for a strong Lokpal. He had also sent a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asking the Government to act on the demand for a strong anti-corruption mechanism.

After disbanding Team Anna, which spearheaded the Lokpal agitation, Hazare is in the process of finalising a new team and has spoken about including former Government employees, ex-servicemen among others in it.

According to the 74-year-old Gandhian, besides corruption, his movement will also focus on issues related to farmers and electoral reforms.

    It is a good move. Anna Hazare should continue to seek the support of celebrities and well known personalities who want sincere and curruption free government to make the movement stronger and unbreakable.

    Annaji should only focus on Jan Lokpal bill in totality.For that And for this the protest should be all over the country not just in Delhi.There has to be a referendum on this for the politicians to know it has huge popular support.It is not advisable to talk on any other issue till this one is acheived.Anyone and everyone who supports this ,Anna team should have no issue in accepting.
