A day before the 74-year-old activist ended his ‘maun vrat’,his assistant read out to the message to Kejriwal over phone that Hazare wanted to come to Delhi and sit at Rajghat for 15 minutes.

The anti-corruption crusader wanted no publicity for this,Kejriwal said. However,within 15 minutes of the phone call,I received a call from police,asking about Anna’s Rajghat plan, Kejriwal alleged.

You can tap phones of the people who are into anti-national activities. Is Anna anti-national? Am I anti-national?
