Anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare on Wednesday attacked the Narendra Modi government for its ‘failure’ to bring back black money stashed in tax havens abroad and said people will teach it a lesson for the “fraud” perpetrated on them.
The 77-year-old Gandhian also refused to be drawn into the subject of political slugfest going on between his two former team-mets: Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Kiran Bedi — in the Delhi assembly elections.
“I don’t want to go into these things. Ask me about other things, ask me about the country. An Arvind or a Kiran is not important,” he said.
“It will take 10-12-15 years. When people will awaken and reject party politics and choose 543 good people as their representatives, then true democracy will come. People made sacrifices for independence but there has not been any struggle for democracy,” he said.
