No tangible result is going to come out of it. The nation’s urgent trouble is terrorism. We should give first importance to tackling terrorism. See if the people are living in a safe environment. Corruption is not something new. Corruption has taken root in this country for many hundreds of years. This sudden agitation is not going to get rid of it. The movement has to reach the people.<br /><br />It is wrong of Hazare to fight with the govt. People like Hazare should first make people realize that it is wrong to give bribes. If people don’t give bribes, the accepting of bribes is done away with. It is customary for big people and corporates to give bribes o get things done.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://adf.ly/35185/banner/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLPigmRZYs2mQVM6dcRa7sbJhmNnIikPZp066yg-3IuKeXfBGn0Tqyhyphenhyphen0E3dX-1wfxLgAWBTMf2Wa3VHGeq30d6UDkaK1VoCRNc4hh9NYplk4YhgY4N3samAmNpgva6CzjsOstYUiQg4/s1600/Rastrapita+Mohandas+Karamchand+Gandhi+%2528Mahatma+Gandhi%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title="Namitha says Anna Hazare not Rastrapita Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)"><img alt="Namitha says Anna Hazare not Rastrapita Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqLPigmRZYs2mQVM6dcRa7sbJhmNnIikPZp066yg-3IuKeXfBGn0Tqyhyphenhyphen0E3dX-1wfxLgAWBTMf2Wa3VHGeq30d6UDkaK1VoCRNc4hh9NYplk4YhgY4N3samAmNpgva6CzjsOstYUiQg4/s1600/Rastrapita+Mohandas+Karamchand+Gandhi+%2528Mahatma+Gandhi%2529.jpg" title="Namitha says Anna Hazare not Rastrapita Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)" width="550" /></a></div><br />I was born in Gujarat, the land where Gandhiji was born, so I know all about Gandhi’s fight. Hazare’s protest is not Gandhi’s protest. Fasting does not make one a Gandhi. People were with Gandhi, so he got 100% victory. It looks like Hazare’s protest is being instigated by vested interests. It won’t achieve even 20% success.<br /><br />The laws now take action against those take bribes. Recently a judge has been in the news for that. Hazare’s protest could hide a political agenda. If it is not so, that would be a surprise.”<br /><br />Looks like there’s a hidden agenda in this interview given by Namitha!</div>

Rajinikanth speaking to media at Chennai has said “We all should be proud of Anna Hazare who is fighting on behalf of us all, to wipe out corruption from the country. We being Indians should extend our support to him and to his fight. His demand for a strong Lokpal Bill is justified and I fully support him in this matter.”<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://adf.ly/35185/banner/https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikdEi_mTQwODMnG3yRPFCEjfIqLGHv-cyzLJpDse1716lEDbScFsMNtmBnaUv94DQkIFUdDRjnXVkDUOt80cv7joyQkFBQkXma19GJ6YRDz67idYXrzzIvYzmlVQGcDzid8WfDx5dAE0k/s1600/Rajinikanth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title="Rajinikanth supports Anna Hazare"><img alt="Rajinikanth supports Anna Hazare" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikdEi_mTQwODMnG3yRPFCEjfIqLGHv-cyzLJpDse1716lEDbScFsMNtmBnaUv94DQkIFUdDRjnXVkDUOt80cv7joyQkFBQkXma19GJ6YRDz67idYXrzzIvYzmlVQGcDzid8WfDx5dAE0k/s1600/Rajinikanth.jpg" title="Rajinikanth supports Anna Hazare" width="550" /></a></div><br /><br />No doubt that, his statement will echoes across the Tamilnadu state as well other parts in south India and will generate a massive support for Anna Hazare’s fight, because of his huge fan base spreads across the south India.</div>
