Anna agrees to visit Pakistan
Published: September 22, 2011
After successfully generating public opinion against corruption in India, social activist Anna Hazare is ready to repeat the feat in Pakistan.
A two-member delegation from Pakistan visited Ralegan Siddhi on Wednesday and invited Hazare to visit Pakistan. “Once I recover from the weakness and complete India yatra, I am going to visit Pakistan,” Hazare told the delegation, comprising justice (retired) Nasir Alam Zahid and Karamat Ali, director of Pakistan Institute for Labour, Education and Research.
“Like India, Pakistan is also facing the issue of corruption,” Hazare said. “It is our duty to help Pakistan. If my visit can encourage the activists there, I will certainly consider visiting them.”
The delegation was in India primarily to discuss the issue of Pakistani fishermen, who have been arrested for territorial waters violation.
After the 40-minute meeting with Hazare, Justice Nasir told reporters: “Many people in Pakistan have been inspired by Hazare. We would like him to visit our country and meet those who want to fight against corruption.” “Corruption is a major issue in Pakistan too and the people are eager to meet Hazare,” Justice Zahid said.
The team also discussed the arrest of Pakistani fishermen and the growing militarisation in the region with Hazare.

this dude is on strike since 10 days and no one cared but anna babu is getting publicity in pakistan!

makes me feel that Anna will have a hard time there...

One of the main reason behind Anna's success in India is the Indian media,which quite powerful when it comes to reaching out.I cannot say the same about Pakistani media.
 
Great move..
Maybe he can inspire people.
If he can escape the Mullah who will inevitably come up with an argument that since Pakistan is a Muslim country its corruption is also Muslim.
So a Christian name Hindu(I doubt they will ever see past the anna to the Kisan baburao) from Hindu India has no say in matters of the Ummah.

His methods are based on democratic principles and not religion. This is what the people need to know. If what they have is a democracy, they can protest. However I doubt such protests would work in Pakistan in the current situation.

The military has become too dominant and will not risk anything that might cause instability (financial or otherwise). There are rogue elements who make such efforts dangerous.

Right now Pakistan has other problems besides corruption which diverts the people away from the problem, and many people have gotten used to it as a way of life.
