“People came out to support Anna due to their anguish against the government over rising prices and corruption,” Bhatt said. “I’ve congratulated Team Anna, but Jan Lokpal is a flawed document,” he said.

“Anna movement has taught us we should not be passive. Anna has all qualities of a hero. But one can’t bask on his glory with bold headlines and media coverage for long,” he said.
