“I as an individually and my party is with Anna Hazare. We are shocked at the way he is being treated. I demand his immediate release. Instead of solving the problem of corruption the Centre is taking action against him.Calling on the people to take to streets in support of Anna’s movement against corruption he said that the detention of Anna reminded the people of the Emergency and detention of Jayaprakash Narayan. Modi clarified that the movement was above party consideration and for common people.
