DTN News - ANNA HAZARE NEWS: Anti-Corruption Crusader Anna Hazare Received Letter From Indian Prime Minister To Pass Lokpal Bill Soon
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 27, 2011: Veteran Indian social activist Anna Hazare waves to his supporters after receiving a letter from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh by India's Science and Technology Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh (R) at Ramlila grounds in New Delhi August 27, 2011.
The self-styled Gandhian activist whose campaign against corruption sparked some of India's biggest anti-government protests in decades will end a 13-day hunger strike on Sunday after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh caved in to his demands.
The 74-year-old Hazare has tapped a groundswell of public anger against endemic corruption, uniting the country's bulging middle-class against a hapless political class and underlining voter anger at Singh and the ruling Congress party.
