“Manji is a symbol of honesty, purity and justice, Anna is narrow-minded,” Manish Tiwari
Congress' weekly mouthpiece and a proud student of Diggy Chacha School of Thoughts, Manish Tiwari (Tiwari Uncle) termed Anna Hazare with a myopic vision (myopic means short sighted or narrow minded). Besides as a duty, he also attacked his own colleague from his party, revolutionary and visionary Mani Shankar Aiyar describing him as loose cannon.
Speaking to reporters in Pune, Tiwari Uncle said, "He (Anna) has a myopic vision (?). I believe that Lokpal is not an issue. He should not forget that the P B Sawant commission has slammed him and his trust. There can't be double standards on morals."
Tiwari Uncle said, "Mani Shankar Aiyyar is a senior politician and unfortunately has a reputation of being a loose canon on the deck of Indian politics. His comments were unwanted and uncalled for." Aiyar had recently called Congress party a 'circus'.
When DCFC reporter contacted a senior leader of Congress Party, he said "What was wrong in Manish' statement? Anna is really a short-sighted guy. How can I forget that the Congress's highly visionary people (e.g. Salman Khurshid, Kapil Sibal, etc.) interacted with him, still he kept reiterating his demands for Jan Lokpal Bill. How can he make such an undemocratic demand to bring Prime Minister under Lokpal Bill? Even we didn't like his demands to bring MLAs, MPs and bureaucrats of Congress led states under Lokpal and Lokayukta ambit."
About P B Sawant report he said so what the report is age-old, if that says Anna has done any crime then it's correct.
About Mani Shankar Aiyyar, the senior leader said I agree the party was circus when the kinds of people like Mani Shankar Aiyyar were leading it. However, Madamji had taken some deliberate efforts to remove the circus tag by removing strange creatures and jokers like Mani Shankar Aiyyar, Gurudas Kamat. Now it is a party of intelligent people such as Diggy, Kapil Sibal, Chidduji, Salman Bhaai and many more. Diggyji is trying to add few more young candidates like Rahul Baba and Manish Tiwari to the force so that party will not face shortage of the talent.
Tiwari Uncle was in the city to deliver a lecture at the Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies at Khadki on the topic "Issues involved in Jan Lokpal Bill." However, the senior leader kept a mum that why Tiwari Uncle was talking about Mani Shankar Aiyyar in Symbiosis. Few anti-social elements asked Symbiosis that why they called such an opaque person.
