    Citizens have a right to protest peacefully and question their elected representatives and expect answers. This does not amount to targeting their houses.

    It is truly unacceptable that the supporters target the houses of the political leaders. Ironically speaking the whole fault of the system lies with the people who sold their votes and unquestionably they can't pressurize the politicians by resorting to terror. Instead it will be fruitful if many more people take up fasts across the nation in support of Hazare and his cause.
