With the anna movement frozen in a time warp,I support...Get disheartened with the politics there too..seems like a unopenable knot that gets tangles further while u feel u reaching the solution,' she updated.

Shekhar Kapur tweeted: 'Anna risks his life fasting for r future n v say its his personal political ambition?Does he need 2 die 2 convince us?'
