April 06, 2013 22:03

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Saturday said the country's politicians have looted the nation more than the Britishers did in over a century before Independence.

"In 150 years, the Britishers did not plunder the country as much as the leaders of this nation have looted. The country requires a Jan Sansad (parliament of the people) which will be convened in Delhi within six months," Hazare said, addressing a public meeting in Narnaund town of the district during his 'Jantantra Yatra'.
