Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Feb 3 (ANI): Shiv Sena on Sunday extended support to veteran social activist Anna Hazare, who is on the fourth day of indefinite hunger strike at his village Ralegan-Siddhi, demanding for setting up of a Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government at the Centre to fulfil the demands of the 81-year-old crusading activist.
"If the government will not listen to Anna, we will not leave any stones unturned to help him," the Shiv Sena chief told reporters here.
He also reminded the Centre about activists who had died pushing social justice agendas in the past.
"Professor Agrawal died in Haridwar while fasting for clean Ganga and government didn't listen to him. It is the fifth day of Anna's fast and the government is not paying any heed to his demands," Thackeray said.
Under the banner of 'Jan Andolan Satyagraha', the social activist Hazare launched his indefinite hunger strike on January 30 to demand the setting up of a Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayuktas in states as the Narendra Modi government "had failed" to set up the anti-corruption bodies. (ANI)

TMC's jibe at Centre amid LPG crisis due to West Asia conflict

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
