On being asked why politicians are reluctant once they occupy a chair, Hazare replied: "This is the problem with this country. When a Hindu dies, people take him to the crematorium on four shoulders. When a Muslim dies, he is also taken on a bier. When a Christian dies, he is taken in a coffin to the burial ground. But in politics, there are many who feel they should be taken to the cremation ground sitting on a chair."
