It appears the stay of social activist Anna Hazare and his team member Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail has had a major impact on the prisoners of Asia’s biggest jail. Tihar jail authorities have noticed that soon after Hazare left the prison premises, the inmates were busy following him and his movement on television news channels.
“The Tihar jail authorities as well as inmates are only watching Hazare’s anti-corruption movement in all common television rooms and offices where there are television sets. Arvind Kejriwal and Hazare had spoken to some inmates and explained them about the benefits of the Jan Lok Pal Bill and why it should be passed by Parliament. Since then, the inmates have started following the activists,” said a senior official of Tihar Jail.
