Varun Gandhi Says, Anna's Movement Has Changed All Of Us For The Better

New Delhi, Aug 27: BJP MP Varun Gandhi today lauded Anna Hazare for his 'democratic' movement against corruption.

"It sits very heavily on my conscience that while we sit here and debate, a 74-year-old man is sitting quietly battling life and death", said Varun while taking part in the debate on Lokpal in Lok Sabha.

"The issue is not whether Jan Lokpal or Lokpal, because bills are not always perfect pieces of legislation, but one thing is sure: this movement has changed all of us for the better", said Varun.

"All of us in this country were passive observers and many considered themselves fence-sitters. This movement has convinced the entire youth of the country that they can become agents of change, they can stand and be counted. This entire day is a testimony to the fact", Varun said.

The BJP MP from Pilibhit said, "a manufactured divide is sought to be brought about here between Parliament and the people we represent. This is a very dangerous precedent. In colonial times, State was sovereign, but after independence, the people became sovereign. A churning has taken place. It's no more a silent revolution."
