Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare today said a countrywide agitation will be launched over the issues of One Rank One Pension (OROP) and the Land Acquisition Bill.

I will inform you about the date of the agitation in my next letter to you.
– Anna Hazare, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi

In a democracy, the government should listen to woes of the people, Hazare said in the letter. He added, “We have to take care of our soldiers and farmers. Making hollow announcements for their welfare and actually implementing them are different things.”

I wish to reiterate that my agitation is not political.
