Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the anti-corruption movement headed by Anna Hazare has reinforced confidence in the strength of non-violence.
"The past and the present proves the fact that Non-Violence is in the DNA of Indians," Modi twitted on the micro-blogging site minutes after Hazare broke his fast on the 13th day of the agitation. "For many of us who didn't witness the Independence struggle, anti-corruption movement reinforces confidence in the strength of Non-Violence," he stated on the site.
Modi, who has been supporting Hazare and his team in the fight against corruption, further said, "Those who've taken the path of Naxalism and Terrorism must recognise the power of non-violence." The chief minister further said, “It (non-violence) will make India stronger and serve humanity."
