Kharagpur: Anna Hazare's protest has cast a shadow over Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to IIT Kharagpur. One student has refused to accept his degree from Singh while another will wear a Anna cap at the convocation where the Prime Minister is the chief guest.
Shashi Shekhar, a civil engineering student, has decided not to accept his M Tech degree from the Prime Minister as a mark of protest because according to him Singh in not in favour of a strong Lokpal.
"I will not accept my degree from the Prime Minister. I will accept it from someone who supports the Jan Lokpal Bill," says Shashi Shekhar.
Another student and M Tech in Electronics, Chandra Kumar Patel, has chosen to wear a Anna cap instead of the traditional convocation cap when he goes to accept his degree from the Prime Minister.
A group of IIT Kharagpur students are also sitting on fast in support of Hazare.
