Rajinikanth supports fasting Anna Hazare

Anna Hazare's fight against the corruption has been boosted, as Rajinikanth has supported the 74-year-old Gandhian. The superstar on Tuesday backed the movement and expressed his happiness over the youth's participation at large numbers.

The Endhiran star said, “There can be no doubt that corruption is a dreaded disease that needs to be weeded from the Indian society. I am very happy that we have an able and dedicated leader in Anna Hazare to lead us in the fight against corruption. I wholeheartedly support the India Against Corruption movement in their campaign to get the Jan Lokpal bill legislated in the parliament."

The superstar sent an email today to India Against Corruption Movement in Tamil. He further added, “I congratulate all the Indians who have lent their support to this bloodless revolution. This kind of peaceful movement is possible only in India which is the birthplace of Satyagraha. I am very proud to be an Indian."

Meanwhile, the Tamil film industry has come out in support of the campaign by going on a one-day token fast on Tuesday. The India's anti-corruption crusader is on his eighth day of fast.
