New Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare expressed his condolences on the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, describing him as a staunch opponent of corruption. However, his remarks have drawn criticism from social media users, who questioned why Hazare led a protest against Singh’s government if he held such views.
“Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh always prioritised the welfare of the nation and society. Death is inevitable, but the contributions and work he did for the country are immense. He provided a new direction to the Indian economy. I met him in 2010 during his tenure, and he discussed the anti-corruption movement with me. He took immediate decisions regarding the Lokayukta Act against corruption. Though he is no longer with us physically, his memories will remain with us forever,” Hazare said.
In 2011, Hazare’s anti-corruption movement created a massive stir across the country. The protest, which began on April 5, 2011, and concluded on December 23 of the same year, sparked widespread dissatisfaction among citizens against the Manmohan Singh-led government. The movement played a significant role in the Congress-led UPA's defeat in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Following Hazare's statement, social media users criticised him, asking why he protested against Singh's administration if he believed Singh opposed corruption.
