Hazare supports farmers' protests in Maharashtra

November 14, 2012 12:27

Anna Hazare inches his way back in the news. Extending his support to the "justful" cause of sugarcane growers in Maharashtra, social activist Anna Hazare today condemned the firing incident in Sangli district and accused the state government of turning this year's Diwali "black" for protesting farmers.

The Gandhian flayed NCP President Sharad Pawar's remarks against Shetty and held him responsible for the present agrarian crisis. A farmer was killed in police firing in Sangli on Monday after a group of peasants tried to lock a police team inside a hotel at Nandre village after learning that Shetty was detained in Pune district.
