Ralegan Siddhi: Anna Hazare on Monday hit out at Digvijaya Singh for stating that the RSS was actively involved in promoting his anti-corruption movement, saying the Congress General Secretary should be admitted to a mental hospital.
"I have said this earlier also that people like Singh should be put in 'Yeravada', (a well known place in Pune housing a government mental hospital)," Hazare told reporters when asked about his reaction on Singh's comment.
The 74-year-old anti-corruption crusader said he was determined to continue his fight for the passage of a strong Lokpal Bill in Parliament to curb corruption in the country.
Hazare reiterated that his close associate Arvind Kejriwal was a 'clean man' who was being targeted by the government, adding that the latter was not a person who would commit irregularities for temptation of money.
The social activist, later addressing a group of his supporters, said his fight was against corruption and 'goonda' elements practising it.
He urged the people to be ready to come on the streets for 'jail bharo' whenever a call is given for the next agitation.
"The fight is going to be a long one and the path is strewn with thorns but we have to walk on it to make India corruption free," he said.
The anti-graft crusader said he had regained 4.5 kg out of 7 kg which he lost during his 12 day fast at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan and was on way to full recovery to pursue his goals.
"I am treating my body as an instrument of God to achieve my goal of a corruption free India," he added.
A heavy security blanket comprising commandos and armed security men in plain clothes has been thrown around the guest house where Anna has stayed put since his arrival after being discharged from a Gurgaon hospital on conclusion of his fast.
