مظاهرات حاشدة دعما لمعارض مضرب عن الطعام في الهند
Mass protests erupt over arrest of 'Gandhi' hunger strike activist
مشاهير123- تجمع عشرات آلاف الهنود مساء اليوم، الأربعاء، فى وسط نيودلهى تعبيرا عن دعمهم لناشط يبلغ من العمر 74 عاما ينفذ إضرابا عن الطعام احتجاجا على الفساد، وفق ما أعلن المنظمون.
ويطالب الناشط آنا هازارى بتشديد مشروع قانون قيد الدرس فى البرلمان حاليا يعفى رئيس الوزراء وكبار القضاة من أى ملاحقات قضائية، فى حال الاشتباه بضلوعهم فى قضايا فساد.
وقدر منظمو التظاهرة عدد الأشخاص الذين تجمعوا عند نصب باب الهند المقابل للبرلمان ما بين ستين ألفا وسبعين ألفا، فيما رفضت الشرطة إعطاء رقم دقيق مكتفية بالقول إن عشرات آلاف الأشخاص تجمعوا فى الموقع.
وحصلت الحملة الإعلامية التى يخوضها آنا هازارى تحت عنوان حركة الهند ضد الفساد على دعم آلاف المواطنين الذين سئموا الفضائح المتكررة.
Anna Hazare's Demands Met, To Stay In Tihar Jail Till Venue Ready
English: Machahir123--The detention of an anti-corruption activist as he began a hunger strike has sparked protests across India, with police rounding up at least 1,200 supporters in New Delhi alone.
Anna Hazare began fasting in custody after police arrested him at home to stop the planned public hunger strike in a New Delhi park, which was certain to embarrass India's scandal-plagued government.
Hazare's demand for tougher anti-corruption laws has galvanised Indians fed up with the bribery and favouritism that has infested government at all levels and become a political distraction, preventing progress in addressing the widening gap between rich and poor.
UPDATE: After two nights in Tihar Jail and hard bargaining, Anna Hazare and government reached an agreement early this morning under which Delhi Police removed all restrictions and allowed him to carry out his hunger strike for a fortnight in the spacious Ramlila Maidan here.
