Anna Hazare gives his Children’s Day speech by phone. Yesterday, on the occasion of Children’s Day, prominent activist Anna Hazare promised to make an appearance at a program for orphans organized by The Smile Revolution. Unfortunately, Hazare was unable to attend the event, which was a great disappointment to the children. Hazare gave a speech by phone in which he told the children that all of them have a Bhagat Singh inside them – they must fight injustice and see God not only in the temple but in every person who cries out for help. The children launched their own protest by attempting to walk out when they heard that Hazare would be making his speech by phone, not in person.
Anna Hazare has been named Mumbai’s most influential person. One of the leading members of the anti corruption campaign, he has received several awards for helping to unite and inspire people, especially rural youth and his hunger strikes in the name of justice have been likened to those of Mahatma Gandhiji.
