Kejriwal, political leaders join Hazare's protest on 2nd day

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today joined Anna Hazare on his second day of protest against the contentious land ordinance and shared the dais with the social activist.
Kejriwal was among a host of leaders cutting across party lines who joined the agitation on a day the government introduced the contentious land acquisition bill in Lok Sabha amid a walk out by the opposition.
Though Hazare had earlier ruled out sharing stage with any politician, political leaders including CPI's Atul Anjan and Vaiko of MDMK were among those sitting on the dais.
Before beginning his protest today, Hazare said people from political parties were welcome to join the agitators but will not share the stage with him and made it clear that he would not allow any political colour to the agitation.

He accused the NDA government of not heeding to farmers' interests.
Yesterday, Hazare had said a jail-bharo movement will be launched from the Ramlila Ground after carrying out "padyatra" across the country for three-four months.
Accusing the government of only caring for corporates, Hazare said he will not relent till government withdraws the controversial ordinance.
"The political parties are of the country only. And, people running the government are also from the country. The people who suffer injustice are also from this country. And, so if farmers are meted out injustice and if everyone comes together to fight injustice, then what is the problem," Hazare told reporters.
