Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda today condemned civil rights activist Anna Hazare's detention and claimed the step could be "dangerous for democracy".

"The arrest of Anna Hazare can be dangerous for democracy as it is his fundamental right to protest... One can't snatch the right of a free citizen. The speed shown in arresting him is condemnable," Munda told reporters here.

"The way the Centre is trying to stop Anna Hazare's movement is wrong," he said.
