Cartoonist
Aseem
Trivedi,
who
will
be
seen
in
reality
show
Bigg
Boss,
says
he
will
continue
his
fight
against
corruption
and
aims
to
gather
more
support
through
the
show.
The
25-year-old
cartoonist
was
arrested
in
September
this
year
for
allegedly
depicting
the
national
symbols
in
poor
light
in
his
cartoons.
He
was
later
granted
bail.
"I
want
to
reach
out
to
people...I
want
to
spread
the
message
of
fighting
against
corruption
through
the
show.
There
will
be
celebrities
on
the
show
and
I
am
hopeful
that
I
would
be
able
to
convince
them
to
be
a
part
of
this
anti-corruption
movement," Trivedi
told
PTI,
before
entering
the
'Bigg
Boss'
house.
"I
have
been
spreading
the
message
through
my
cartoons.
I
want
more
and
more
people
to
become
part
of
this
anti-corruption
movement,"
the
cartoonist,
who
has
been
associated
with
Anna
Hazare's
movement
against
corruption,
said.
The
Maharashtra
government
is
likely
to
drop
the
sedition
charge
against
Trivedi.
"I
have
also
heard
that
the
state
government
is
going
to
drop
sedition
charges
against
me.
They
have
been
saying
this
for
quite
some
time.
I
am
happy
it
is
happening.
I
hope
this
does
not
happen
with
any
other
cartoonist,"
he
said.
Aseem
was
reportedly
approached
by
the
Colors
channel
for
Bigg
Boss
immediately
after
he
came
out
of
jail.
"I
have
been
told
that
this
time
there
will
be
no
controversy,
fights
and
that
the
show
will
be
different.
Ultimately
it
is
about
behaving
well
with
others.
If
you
behave
well
then
others
would
behave
in
the
same
manner.
I
will
be
myself
on
the
show.
There
is
no
strategy
or
plan
as
such.
I
want
to
be
in
the
company
of
good
people.
If
I
am
good
to
others
they
will
be
good
to
me
as
well,"
he
said.
