Slap remark: Pawar hits back at Anna

New Delhi, December 7 (ANI): Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has reacted sharply to anti graft crusader Anna Hazare's remarks about his attack where the minister was slapped by a man, during a public function last month. Pawar issued a statement today saying, '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. 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.'
