Anna with Nanaji Deshmuk

Hindi daily reported that Anna had worked under Deshmukh's leadership in 1983 showing a photo of Anna with Nanaji Deshmukh.Rashid Alvi and Digvijaya Singh wasted no time in terming Anna as an agent of RSS.  
"Anna Hazare worked as Secretary with RSS leader Nanaji Deshmukh and trained in 1983 in Gonda. See Nai Duniya front page today," Singh today wrote on his twitter page.  
However, Team Anna did not hesitate in giving a tit-for tat-response.
 Kiran Bedi also posted a picture of Digvijaya Singh sharing a dais with Nanaji Deshmukh, questioning his RSS links."Does sharing of the dais make one each other's agent. Next time shud one sit alone? When two persons share a dais do they become each others agents,?" Kiran asked. 


Meanwhile, Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma also joined the tirade calling Anna an Army deserter, but his claims seemed to bite dust with the report from Army in which army cleared that Anna's record in army is clear and full of might.
Army records made it clear that  Hazera was honourably discharged in 1975 after completing his 12 years of service.Hazera has also won medals for his service.

Editor's View:  Nanaji Deshmuk was first a social activist (honored with  Padma Vibhushan) then an rss member, the very proof of this statement is his powerful social work regarding anti-poverty and minimum needs programme, agriculture and cottage industry, rural health and rural education etc. Nanaji was an experienced man in terms of rural development.
If we believe the report then we will realize  Anna was with Deshmuk in order to gain experience about rural development from Deshmukh(who had infinite experience in this field )Report says that Anna have participated in  rural development projects started by Deshmukh.So it reveals that Anna contributed to Deshmuk's projects to gain experience from him. It is evident from the report that Anna has worked only and only in Deshmuk's rural projects and not in any other  projects and campaingns by rss.It clearly defines that Anna worked with Deshmuk in his rural developmental projects to learn from Deshmuk about rural development. Deshmuk was one of those politicians with whom any activist can meet for exchange of views and lessons. Even Digvijay who is blaming Anna had shared stage with Deshmuk!
