Hazare is in Mumbai to mobilise support for a strong Lokayukta among political parties and had met Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Thackeray&#39;s estranged nephew and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray among other political leaders. Hazare, who had a meeting with Raj, remained unfazed over Thackeray&#39;s refusal to meet him. <img alt="Anna Hazare" src="/imagedata/2012/apr/Anna-Hazare-01_1.gif" style="width: 367px; height: 437px; " /> Anna Hazare &quot;If he is not meeting me, it will not affect me. I am not meeting him for my selfish interest. I am meeting him as the issue (Lokayukta) is important for the state,&quot; Hazare told reporters after his meeting with Raj. Thackeray&#39;s son and Sena executive president Uddhav defended his father, saying he would not meet Hazare as long as the social activist was accompanied by &quot;corrupt people&quot;. &quot;Balasaheb would not meet him as long as Hazare is surrounded by corrupt people,&quot; Uddhav said responding to a question by newsmen in Aurangabad. Thackeray senior last month questioned the relevance of the anti-corruption crusade by Hazare and his team members. u00a0
