HAZARE 2LAST

April 10 (PTI) - Hazare said it was time to involve people from across the country when it came to issues like fighting corruption
"because it affects each one of us".
"Though I do not know any one specific reason for the
massive support I got, one certainty is that each of us is fed
up with the degree of corruption in the country", the activist
said.
He said the use of technology including SMS, social
networking sites and the media just helped spread like wild
fire the message of holding anti-corruption agitations
throughout the country.
Asked about his earlier comment that India's Union
Minister Sharad Pawar should step down, Hazare said, "He has
already resigned from one Group of Ministers (GoM). This is a
democracy, if people demand that he should step down, then on
moral grounds he should".
Calling the agitation a victory of people's power,
Hazare, however, reminded all that it was just the beginning
of the fight against corruption.
