| Anna Hazare tells NDTV in an exclusive interview that he is not worried about the dwindling number of supporters at his protests. "My campaign will continue even if there are just five people," he said. The Gandhian activist added that he would join his close aides at Jantar Mantar and begin his fast tomorrow. Highlights of his interview:
•We are not happy going on strikes. We are raising questions for the nation and about the nation. When there is injustice, we are hurt. We are asking for the Janlokpal Bill because people are fed up of corruption.
•We are not unhappy with fewer people at the agitation. I will be happy if even 5 people turn up. Crowds alone do not make a movement.
•When I have decided to work for the nation, then why should I be afraid of dwindling numbers? My mantra is Ekla Chalo Re (Go it alone)
•My team decided on the fast and they requested me not to join them because of my health, but I have been fighting for the Lokpal bill for over a year so how could I not join them?
•I gave the government 4 days. Since they haven't I will join the fast tomorrow
•If Government truly wants, it can pass Lokpal Bill.
•Government's conscience not clear in terms of the bill.
•Was hoping for some breakthrough when I met Salman Khurshid. But I was disappointed.
•I respect the constitutional post of the President, that's why I sent my wishes to Pranab Mukherjee.
•I may have differences with Pranab as an individual, but have to respect him as President.
•Baba Ramdev went to meet ministers like Sharad Pawar after consultations with us.
•My team members and me are like the five fingers of the hand. My team members often have divergent views and differences but our goal is the same.
•We even told the government that we will stop the movement against the 15 corrupt ministers but bring the Jan Lokpal bill. The corrupt ministers can be dealt with later.
