Will Anna Hazaare attend oath taking ceremony ? - NewsX
- 5 years ago
Anna Hazare will not be at the Ramlila Maidan when Arvind Kejriwal is sworn in chief minister of Delhi.
"I haven't received any invitation for Kejriwal's oath ceremony so am not attending it," the 76-year-old Gandhian activist said, adding that he is "also ill".
Mr Kejriwal has reportedly requested that the swearing in ceremony be held on Thursday, December 26, but the date has not been finalised yet.
It will be held not at Delhi's Raj Bhavan as is usually done, but at the sprawling Ramlila grounds from where Mr Kejriwal and Anna Hazare had launched their massive campaign for a Lokpal or national anti-graft ombudsman in 2011. Anna's 13-day fast then had galvanised India's middle class into hitting the streets in protest against corruption.
