Tushar Gandhi: Bapu didn't ask for favours during fast

December 23, 2011 17:58

Point to ponder: Tushar Gandhi on Twitter: When Bapu fasted he never asked for special facilities he fasted from his residence of the time.

Tushar Gandhi is the Mahatma's great-grandson.

On December 11, when Anna Hazare sat on a one-day fast demanding a strong Lokpal, Gandhi attacked the activist saying his methods are "not Gandhian" as they are becoming a "mere ritual". "

His methods are not Gandhian because this is now turning into a mere ritual that every time he lands up in Delhi, he goes to Rajghat. It does not seem to be that the inspiration carry any further than that... because there is talks about beating up and hitting people," he said.
