Apr 6 (PTI) Political leaders trying to meet anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare at the fasting site here were today prevented from speaking to him by his supporters, prompting a rebuke from the Gandhian who said they should listen to all shades of views.RLD chief Ajit Singh, INLD president Om Prakash Chautala and Hindutva leader Uma Bharti along with their supporters reached Jantar Mantar separately where Hazare was sitting on a indefinite fast demanding 'Jan Lokpal Bill' since yesterday.As soon as the leaders arrived, Hazare's supporters shouted slogans and prevented them from going on the dais and discussing issues with the 72-year-old activist.The leaders beat a hasty retreat without meeting Hazare.However, Hazare did not agree with his supporters' actions and said he was protesting in a Gandhian way and their behaviour should be in line with those principles."We have said that this is a Gandhian protest.
