New Delhi, Aug 24: Controversial congress spokesperson and Member of Parliament from Punjab Manish Tiwari is in trouble for making 'corruption' charges against social activist and civil society lead member Anna Hazare.
Though Tiwari apologised to Anna Hazare for saying that the latter too was not free of corruption, on the basis of Sawant Commission report, Hazare's advocate M Pawar said that Tiwari will not be spared despite the apology and that next week he would be filing a defamation case against him for making derogatory remarks against Hazare.
Earlier in the day, Tiwari had stated, "I know some of my recent utterances have hurt Hazare. I regret the same and I would like to appeal to him as a citizen of this country to end his fast." He admitted that in the course of political thrust certain things are inadvertently said which cause pain.
Tiwari had accused that Team Anna comprised armchair fascists, overground Maoists, and closet anarchists funded by invisible donors.
Anna Hazare's advocate Pawar said that a case against Tiwari will be filed according to IPC Section 500 for the defamatory remarks made by him against Hazare on August 14, describing him as a corrupt person at a public forum.
Tiwari, further to tendering apology has urged Anna Hazare to withdraw his 10-day fast.
