"I am personally not inclined to ask or request anyone to join our agitation against corruption but we have fought two wars including one against Pakistan during my service in the Army. Now we have to fight the enemy within us," he said in Chandrapur in Maharashtra.

The anti-corruption crusader said this fight is more important than the earlier ones, he said.

"And we need likeminded people in our team and if interested, Gen V K Singh is welcome to join us after his retirement. It would be his choice," Anna told reporters last evening when they asked him whether he would like to invite the Army Chief to join his team.

The anti-corruption crusader is currently touring Maharashtra to campaign for a strong Lokayukta Act in the state.

The 35-day long state-wide tour, which ends on June 5, will be his first major assignment after the December 2011 agitation in Mumbai. Hazare also plans to step up his campaign in the run up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.He will visit Delhi on June 3 to take part in an agitation by yoga guru Ramdev at Jantar Mantar. (MORE) PTI
