Anna Hazare during his Maharashtra tour in a press conference on May 12 said that he would welcome like-minded people like General VK Singh after his retirement as army chief to be a part of his team to fight corruption.
"I am personally not inclined to ask or request anyone to join our agitation against corruption but we have fought two wars - one against Pakistan and the other against Bangladesh during my service in the Army, now we have to fight the enemy within us", he said.
He further said "And we need like minded people in our team and if interested, General VK Singh is welcome to join us after his retirement. It would be his choice",
"Anna's invite to General V K is most appropriate. Imagine if ex-servicemen join Anna they can become a formidable voice against corruption", Team Anna member Kiran Bedi tweeted on May 13 2012
Anna also said that the government was unwilling to bring the Right to Information (RTI) Act into force, but had budged after several years of agitation and implemented it in Maharashtra in 2002, and it was later brought into force throughout the country.
Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal while extending support to Gen Singh had said that they were sure that the Army chief will take a decision on what he will do after retirement on May 31.
