As Parliament initiated a discussion on his three demands on Lokpal Bill, Anna Hazare on Saturday trained his guns at MPs, saying that around 150 of them were facing criminal charges, and that people should not elect "useless" lawmakers next time.
Indian MPs includes, looters, traitors, killers, rapists and mafia dons.
In his second address to supporters within two hours, the 74-year-old Gandhian said people expected a lot from the MPs, but they did not live up to the expectations, and that he would tour the country to appeal to people not to vote for them again.
A little before noon, while Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj was speaking on the Lokpal in Lok Sabha, he again took the microphone and launched an attack on MPs.
"Today, there are 150 MPs who are facing criminal charges. We have some expectations from them. They did not live up to it. In the coming elections, we are not going to elect them. Next time, do not elect them as they are not performing according to the rules laid out by Constitution.
"I will tour across the country and appeal to the people not to elect useless Parliamentarians," Mr. Hazare said, adding that people's power is stronger than that of the lawmakers.
Noting that the common man is the "master" of MPs, he said one needs to keep a watch on their "servants, and if they do not perform, they should be thrown out".
Mr. Hazare said one should not sleep over the wrongs of lawmakers and they should be prevented from being re—elected to Parliament.
"Our Parliament is the sacred temple of democracy. We have to keep it sacred," he said.
It is not me who is doing all this. God has pointed fingers at me. He has chosen me to do the work. It is he who is doing all this. I am praised for what I am doing. A 'fakir' should not be praised so much," he said.
Indians, we have to march towards their home and the criminal MPs should be treated in the streets.
