'Writer-activist Arundhati Roy has launched a scathing attack on social activist Anna Hazare, the leader of the ongoing anti-corruption movement. She has questioned his secular credentials and further said that the 74-year-old Hazare "supports Raj Thackeray's "Marathi Manoos xenophobia." The article has drawn a barrage of online response. Most are sharply critical of her views.
In an edit page article published on Monday in The Hindu newspaper, she asks, "Who is he really, this new saint, this Voice of the People? Oddly enough we've heard him say nothing about things of urgent concern. Nothing about the farmer's suicides in his neighbourhood, or about Operation Greyhound further away. He doesn't seem to have a view about the government's plans to deploy the Indian Army in the forests of Central India."
"He does however support Raj Thackeray's Marathi Manoos xenophobia and has praised the 'development model' of Gujarat's CM who oversaw the 2002 pogrom against Muslims. (Anna withdrew that statement after a public outcry, but presumably not his admiration.)," she further writes in the article titled, I'd rather not be Anna.'
My views:-
I think that Mrs. Arundhati Roy is such a kind of individual who can speak shit to any level for the sake of getting attention......... thus this attempt of her is just a stunt of her to grab the attention of public... the proof of Anna being secular is that he never called only Hindus or Muslims only to take participate in his movement and his movement is not for the benefication of a single community of the country but its for whole of the nation. And when whole Muslim world and Hindu community is supporting the movement then who the hell is she to judge the movement on her hypocrite standards.........
Beware of such kind of people they are the true threat for National Harmony..........

c wants attention anyway....so it's better to avoid such persons n concentrate on the grt movement....kudos for Anna ji n a big bamboo for Arundhati,.......
ReplyDeleteArundhati is an example of a particular class which criticise evrything.........they'll criticise evry obvious point of view & came out wid such bizzare comments, Mahesh Bhatt is another example of dis class. they'll criticise Anna, & Govt., democracy, autocracy, jan lokpal, sarkari lokpal.....etc..if u try 2 agree wid dem dey'll criticise u as well, bcoz dey r cynical about everything.....so just ignore dem....bcoz as u said attention is wat dey want .........so don't give dem dat.....don't give a damn 2 their f****** b*******.

ReplyDelete"He is not asking anything for himself. He is only fighting for our haq and hence I along with 39 others came here on Monday to join the movement. The Government must respond at the earliest."
The Bit** should learn that if we are having no issue then why she is trying to create an illogical issue........
