Sonu Niigaam supports Anna Hazare

His mother told him that an old man is fasting and so came Bollywood singer Sonu Niigaam to Ramlila Maidan to treat Anna Hazare with music though he "does not know much" about Jan Lokpal Bill for which the Gandhian is protesting.
Niigaam, 38, came to the protest venue this morning to pledge his support to Hazare and sang his hit numbers, including 'mera rang de basanti', and Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn 'Vaishnav Janate'. For 30 minutes, the singer performed at the ground to loud cheers of Hazare supporters. "My mother told me that an old man is fasting and so I came to treat him with music. He is not taking food and so it is the best thing to do from my side," Niigaam said. " I don't know much about the bill. Anna and you (supporters) want peace and I bow before you," he said.

Aamir boost the morale of Team Anna

When the mood at the Ramlila ground was very somber after government once again back-track on their earlier commitment, the arrival of Aamir Khan boosted the sagging morals of all those present there.

He was cheered by the huge crowd. He said that, " I fully back the Jan Lok pal bill that was drafted by the civil society." Aamir Khan said he believes that the draft of Lokpal bill should be debated at a length.

Aamir Khan has been supporting Jan Lokpal Bill. He was in  touch with Team Anna. He is the first big-ticket star to extend support to Anna Hazare. Since Anna iss sitting on fast,Om Puri and stanup comedian Raju Shrivastave have also visited Anna.

Aamir is of the opinion that the Prime Minister should be brought under the purview of the Lokpal, the anti-corruption cell of CBI should merge with Lokpal and the lower bureaucracy should also be brought under the ambit of the Lokpal.
