Mumbai, May 30 : Anna Hazare has come under sharp attack from some civil society members including a retired judge who dubbed his anti-corruption movement “a humbug” and “completely politically-motivated.”
Retired Bombay High Court judge Justice (retd) Suresh Hosbet said it is wrong to credit Hazare for drawing people's attention towards corruption while reformist writer and activist Asghar Ali Engineer alleged his movement is only aimed at attacking Congress.
“The movement is a humbug and is completely politically-motivated,” said Justice Suresh.
Instead, Hazare should enter politics and fight for eradicating corruption, he said after releasing the book “Anna Hazare Upsurge: A Critical Appraisal” here yesterday.
The book is a compilation of ‘critical' articles on Hazare during his agitation for Lokpal Bill last year.
