February 22, 2015 19:17

Terming the land ordinance as anti-farmer, activist Anna Hazare, who will hold a two-day protest against it here from tomorrow, said today that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi can join the movement but they will not share the stage with him.

They will have to sit among the common workers, he said.

The 77-year-old Gandhian also said that he has spoken to Kejriwal on phone and he will meet him tomorrow to discuss the next course of action. "This ordinance is against the farmers.

In an agriculturally dominated nation, when there is torture on the farmers then all the people should stand united. So we want that any opposition party or be it Kejriwal, all the workers should work together to take this agitation forward," he said.

Hazare also said that the Delhi chief minister has expressed his desire to join the agitation.
