Meet Anna in blogosphere
Crusader outto go global
Anna Hazare has now decided to spread the message against corruption in the virtual world. Anna, along with two of his close associates, will express his opinions on a blog.
The blog (http://annahazaresays.wordpress.com) will become active on Thursday. It already features a letter penned by Hazare explaining why he needed to take the help of technology. "People from the world over want to know my thoughts on various issues. Many times, people (even those who are closer to me) make statements that do not collaborate with my thinking. Henceforth, through the medium of internet, I will personally make sure that my thoughts and views reach over to the people," says the letter, which was written by Hazare addressing the nation.
Political analyst Raju Parulekar, who along with senior journalist Vijay Kuwalekar will be in charge of the blog, told DNA, "We had many meetings to think of a steady medium which can be used to spread his message. When we suggested the idea of a blog, Anna approved it. Hazare has a number of big plans which he wants to share with his countrymen. It is not feasible to conduct media briefings or interviews every time. Now, he will regularly start writing articles, which will be posted on the blog, and updates will be put up on Twitter and Facebook," said Parulekar.
Parulekar added that Anna is already working on a draft of an article, which he termed 'quite explosive', and said that it will be posted on the blog in a couple of days.
