New Delhi, Aug 23 :  Anna Hazare has hogged the limelight in the virtual
world. However it's no longer just voices in support of the elderly
leader and his movement -- there has been a steady rise of those
opposing it as well.

On social networking site Facebook for instance, a group named "I hate Anna Hazare" has registered 2,301 supporters.

Wrote Vijayan Kallil, one of the supporters: "The Jan Lokpal bill will
create a totalitarian monster in the name of fighting corruption. It
must never be passed."

Agreed Samir Sharma. "The Jan Lokpal bill demands the creation of
something like a supreme power which no one can question. That in itself
is against the idea of democracy."

Hazare's fast to demand a strong anti-corruption Lokpal bill entered the
eighth day Tuesday. He and his team have been camping at the Ramlila
Maidan since Friday along with thousands of supporters from across the
country.

Questioning the method adopted by the social activist, Rajiv Shukla said
on Orkut: "I don't support Anna... but that does not mean that I
support corruption. I just don't agree with Anna's method of
blackmailing the government."

"We are a democracy for goodness sake, you have to respect the
parliamentary procedures. We all want an end to corruption," he added.

Rashmi Sharma wrote: "I was at the Ramlila ground and I must have asked
at least 20 people if they know the difference between the Lokpal bill
submitted by the government and the Jan Lokpal bill and the only answer I
got was 'we support Anna, we don't want corruption'".

"If you don't know what is that you are asking for, then isn't this blind faith," she asked.(IANS)
