Parliament complex on Friday witnessed high drama as a supporter of Anna Hazare shouted slogans in favour of the Gandhian before being taken away by the security personnel.

The middle-aged man, who identified himself as Manjeet from Rohtak in Haryana, had come to Parliament on visitor’s pass.

Wearing a grey safari suit, he was in a queue along with visitors at around 3 pm. Suddenly he took off his shirt, revealing a white undershirt with Hazare’s photo and ‘I am Anna’ written on it and shouted slogans in favour of the Gandhian and attacking the government.

He chanted slogans like “Anna Zindabad” and “Anna on fast, government not acting.”

Security personnel immediately rushed towards the well-built man and took him away.
