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.
