Hazare Gives Out Recipe For 'Mai Bhi Anna' Thought [ Updated 28 Aug 2011, 14:01:59 ]
New Delhi, Aug 28 : Just wearing Gandhi caps with
‘Mein Bhi Anna (I am Anna)’ will not make you Anna Hazare. This was the
message by the Gandhian to his thousands of supporters at Ramlila
Maidan as he prescribed a five-point agenda for them to emulate.
“I
am seeing people wearing Gandhi caps with ‘Mein bhi Anna’. Just wearing
those caps will not make you Anna. If you want to become Anna, you have
to keep certain things in mind,” he said.
The 74-year-old
activist said while he was happy to see them wearing the white Gandhi
caps, there are some essential requisites for being and becoming an
‘Anna’ like him. “There should be no difference in what you say and
what you do, you should possess clean and honest thoughts, have a clean
conduct, clean character, have a feeling for sacrifice and should have
the strength to take humiliation,” Hazare told his supporters here.
The
people took off their caps and waved them in air in response to
Hazare’s instructions as he spelt out the cardinal rules.Hazare also
said that one should pledge not to give or take bribes henceforth.
The
white ‘Mai bhee Anna’ Gandhi caps have become a craze during the last
13-days when Hazare was on a fast for bringing in a strong Lokpal
Bill.Vendors sold these caps for a price ranging from Rs 3 to Rs 10. PTI
