AYODHYA: All-India Akhara Parishad chief Mahant Gyan Das and Hashim Ansari, the oldest litigant in Babri Masjid title suit, joined hands on Friday to support Anna Hazare's movement against corruption.
The mahant, who is also the chief priest of Hanuman Garhi temple in Ayodhya, and Ansari were in news when they tried to forge an out-of-court settlement in Ayodhya case after the high court verdict in September 2010.
Addressing a joint press conference at Hanuman Garhi temple, Mahant Das and Ansari said, "We openly support Anna and his cause and we are also ready to march to Delhi with our followers and devotees if needed." Speaking to mediapersons, they said that their support to Anna was purely for the holy war which he is leading and they should not be clubbed with RSS, VHP or the BJP, who have also announced to support Anna.
"We are against corruption and also against the saffron politics and communalism being spread by right wing saffron brigade," the two said.
"We believe in true religious activities and do not want to do politics of religion, so this is a pure secular support for Anna," the two of them added.
