DETAINING ANNA prior to his fast reminds us of the Quit India movement call by Gandhiji. His arrest did not stop the movement but resulted in even unwilling people joining the movement as a mark of protest. Precisely the same thing is going to happen.

The arrest has been widely published by media. People who are not very keen on it feel that it is gagging. So Congress government will see another version of quit India movement. More and more cities and villages will now come out and protest some knowing the reason and some out of sympathy for Anna.

So now it has become a people's movement. Either the government has to manufacture more bullets in ammunition factory or surrender to the peoples' demands. It is a second version of Quit India movement. That time it was the British now it is turn for unscrupulous people to quit their posts. Let us see who wins?
