Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has said the crusade against Corruption by eminent social activist Anna Hazare was extremely important and extended support to him, saying he is an inspiration to the youth of the country.
"Like the country supported the Indian cricket team in their struggle to win the World Cup, I hope and pray that your struggle, which is definitely more important and affects every one of us, will get even greater support", Aamir said in a letter to Hazare.
"I am among the thousands who are fully supportive of your effort", he wrote. Hazare has undertaken a fast unto death, demanding a joint committee to draft a strong Jan Lokpal bill.
Acclaimed director Shekhar Kapur said, "the test of the will of the nation is whether all the attention now goes to IPL or stays with Anna Hazare's patriotic movement" Actors Pyianka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and Anupam Kher also pledged their support for Hazare's campaign.
Meanwhile, in Hazare's village Ralegaon Siddhi, a least 600 school children participated in a rally against corruption.
