Anna hazare on Sunday in a new blog congratulated the anti-corruption activists for staging a powerful but non violent protest.

“I watched on television how a youth was getting mercilessly beaten up by cops and he did not even raise a hand in protest. I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the youth,” he wrote.

Expressing full support for the protest against the refusal of the BJP and the Congress to even discuss the matter of coal allocati-ons in parliament and wasting its time he said we would continue to protest as natural resources like coal were the country’s wealth and it cannot be allowed to be looted.
