New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS) Anna Hazare Sunday hit out at Home Minister P. Chidambaram, accusing him of getting him arrested during his hunger strike in August.
“Who was behind my arrest? Chidambaram was behind it…If the nation gets home ministers like him what will happen to the country,” Hazare thundered, addressing a huge gathering at Jantar Mantar where he was on a day-long fast for a strong anti-graft Lokpal bill.
He said Chidambaram had also ordered the June 4/5 crackdown against Baba Ramdev at the Ramlila ground here.
Hazare was arrested Aug 16 from Delhi after he refused to call off his fast in violation of prohibitory orders imposed around the fast venue.
He and his aides were shifted to Tihar jail where they remained for three days.
