Anna Hazare writes to Maharashtra CM against wine policy, warns of indefinite strike

“The government’s decision to permit sale of wine in supermarkets and step-in shops does not augur well for the state and its people’s welfare. The state government should initiate measures against liquor addiction,” he wrote.
Unfortunately, the cabinet decision would encourage people towards consuming liquor, he said. “If the government persists with its policy, I will go on an indefinite strike,” Hazare said.

Last week too, Hazare had expressed his displeasure on the cabinet decision.

For the past several decades, Hazare has been leading a campaign against liquor and was instrumental in making his own village — Ralegaon Siddhi – “liquor-free”.
