Satyagraha does not preach violence, director Prakash Jha tells Aap Ki Adalat
New Delhi: Satyagraha movie director Prakash Jha has rejected charges that the popular Gandhi hymn Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram song in his film preached violence. Replying to questions in Rajat Sharma's show Aap Ki Adalat
Jha praised Gandhian Anna Hazare as "incorruptible" and as "a man whom I admire".
"But Anna's movement fizzled out because one cannot be an authoritarian by saying, it's either my way or the highway. In democracy, you have to work in a democratic manner. That is the way his movement dissipated", said the director.
Jha, on the other hand, appreciated Arvind Kejriwal for setting up a political party and opting to join the democratic battle.
Replying to questions, actor Ajay Devgn said, youths are becoming disenchanted with the present crop of politicians.
