DTN News - ANNA HAZARE NEWS: Anti-Corruption Crusader Anna Hazare's Supporters Hold Placards And Candles In Amritsar

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 26, 2011: Supporters of anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare, hold placards and candles during a protest against corruption in Amritsar on August 26, 2011.

Rahul Gandhi, widely seen as India's prime minister-in-waiting, waded into a government standoff with Hazare, saying his tactics threatened India's democratic 'life force.'

The 74-year-old Hazare has said he will fast until parliament adopts and passes his own version of a new anti-corruption bill that would create the post of a national ombudsman to monitor senior politicians and bureaucrats.
