Union minister Sharad Pawar has reacted sharply to Anna Hazare's comments about the attack that saw Mr Pawar being slapped last month at a public function. "In the recent past, Shri Hazare by supporting the physical assault on me at a public function has given a new definition to the concept of Gandhism and non-violence," said the minister. He added, "I have no objection to Shri Hazare expressing his thoughts regarding me or my actions. However, in the event of any further physical assault on me, it would be amply clear from where the instigation or encouragement for such acts emanates."
