US president Barack Obama may travel to Ralegan Siddhi to meet Anna Hazare this October during his visit to India.
In fact Prakash Shah, who is presently an advisor of the United Parcel Service, (UPS) Washington DC, and is believed to have served as the US president’s emissary for the possible visit, met Hazare at Ralegan Siddhi on June 1st.
According to Datta Awari Anna's personal assistant,Prakash Shah has also taken Anna's book 'My Village My Pilgrimage’ after meeting him on June 1.
While there has been no confirmation from the US authorities yet, Hazare was told that Obama is likely to visit India in October and would like to meet him at his village where the US president could also see his work.
Even Obama has in the past praised the non-violent anti corruption campaign launched by Anna.
In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) he mentioned non-violent protests in various parts of the world, including, seeking freedom and change. “We saw in those protesters the moral force of non-violence that has lit the world from Delhi to Warsaw, from Selma to South Africa,” said Obama. Although,he did not name Anna Hazare in particular in his speech but his point was clear.
