Bollywood Tweets: Celebs on Anna Hazare’s Lokpal Bill & His Arrest

Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi were arrested today even before they could reach JP Park (New Delhi), the venue of his fast. We think it’s totally undemocratic and unconstitutional. Even Bollywood celebrities couldn’t agree more. Here’s what they have to say about Anna Hazare’s Lokpal Bill and his fight against corruption.

Farhan Akhtar
The Indian citizen has the right to protest peacefully. Anna's arrest is unconstitutional and shows symptoms of an authoritarian mindset.

Dia Mirza
It's clear the government today has made Anna Hazare a bigger hero than he already was.

Atul Kasbekar
You may not agree with Anna's ideology or his methods. That's fine. BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE AWAY HIS RIGHT TO PEACEFUL PROTEST.

Sophie Choudry
Ironic that the day after Independence Day,govt decides that peaceful protests/fasts are unlawful? Isn't that how the Independent movement began years ago?!

Madhavan
This move and method of preventing AnnaHazare is in my opinion most foolish and silly high handed act by the authorities. Big Mistake

Anupam kher
Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal arrested even before they reach JP park. Saddest day for Indian Democracy.

Pritish Nandy
Strange, the same Congress which venerated Gandhiji's fast ridicules Anna's fast today. The goal is the same: a better, stronger India.

Vishal Dadlani
They've arrested Anna Hazare. Bad move, Government. BIG mistake! You've made yourselves look dictatorial, and Anna, even more of a martyr! Presenting Anna's draft to parliament is the right course forward, and his arrest is very wrong. Joining the protest at Azad Maidan today.

Bhagyashree
Shameful! In Gandhi's nation Gandhian principles of protest are not allowed by the government

Purab Kohli
I feel a fear of being arrested but I'm not going to be an arrested state of being anymore. I'll be at Azad Maidan at 3pm.
