I can still drive a truck to help our soldiers: Hazare

-

Social activist Anna

Hazare, who is currently hospitalis­ed following his fast, said Friday that he still had enough strength to drive a military truck.

Hazare, who was once an Army driver, was reacting to the terrorist attack. “I can not pick up the gun because of my old age, but if the need be, I can surely hold the steering wheel to ferry supplies to our armymen fighting for the country,” a close aide of Hazare quoted him as saying from the hospital bed. Hazare, an octogenari­an, ended his six-day fast over the demand of appointmen­t of anti-corruption watchdog Lokpal on February 5. Suffering from certain health issues, he is now admitted to a hospital in Ahmednagar.
