Sri Sri Ravishankar reaches Tihar to meet Anna, lashes out at Congress


New Delhi:  Spiritual leader and the Art of Living Foundation head Sri Sri Ravishankar reached the Tihar jail after midnight, on Wednesday, to meet Anna Hazare who is lodged there after his arrest.

"I have come here to meet Anna Hazare", Sri Sri Ravishankar told reporters outside the main gate of the jail well past midnight.

Asked to comment on the government's action against Mr Hazare, Sri Sri said "will any sane person say that it was the right action?"

In a veiled criticism of Congress, he criticised the "double-speak" of the party saying "it is not good that one day Hazare is accused of corruption and the next day you say this is not good".

Sri Sri has been a long standing supporter of Mr Hazare's movement India Against Corruption.
