Speaking to PTI, Anna said, "The delegation told me that their country is facing a problem similar to that in India. Neighboring countries must join hands to fight corruption. In fact measures are needed to reduce corruption across the world." The delegation also urged Anna not to limit his anti-corruption crusade to India, but extend it to all over South Asia. "The delegation has invited me to Pakistan. I will travel there when I am fit and get time from my schedule," Anna said.
One of the delegates, Karamat, meanwhile stated that they honored Anna Hazare for the steps he had taken to wipe out corruption in India. Like India, Pakistan is also beset with corruption, he noted. Karamat also added that they didn't have the likes of Anna Hazare in their country, and they wanted him to visit Pakistan to propel people to fight against corrupt practices of the government there. They wanted Anna to guide them in fighting corruption. Inspired by Hazare, an Islamabad-based businessman is already on a hunger fast against graft, from September 12, Karamat revealed.
