Some allegations of Anna’s involvement with RSS leader Nanaji Deshmukh have emerged (see images below, as well). I’ve read the actual report carefully and can't find any evidence to suggest Anna’s membership of RSS. 

Hazare, in good faith, perhaps considered only the social aspects of Deshmukh’s work. According to him, “social leaders like Deshmukh were above political ideologies, and selfish party and power politics. [And so]"If there is a picture of mine with Nanaji, does it mean that the country does not need the Jan Lokpal Bill and there is no need to tackle corruption by ministers and political leaders," the 74-year-old activist asked.” [Source]

RSS is not a banned organisation, and if Anna worked with it (without being a member) then there is nothing more to say about it. 

What does undermine his work is ONLY this: that his blind faith in the Lokpal does not even REMOTELY address the causes of corruption.

If he wants corruption to be removed, he must vigorously advocate capitalism and seek the abolition of socialist policies. (But recently he opposed FDI in retail, so it is almost certain that he is a staunch socialist. Therefore, his methods and policy goals for India will merely ADD to the existing inefficiency and corruption prevalent in India.

    Superb .. 
    I Really Like This Article , and I must say i like u r Straightforwardness ,Its Really Doesn't Matter Whether Anna is a Violent ,or he is a RSS agent or He is something , Point is Simple and Clear that Anna's Intention is Good , But Intention Good has Nothing to do with the Solving Problem , 

    Anna is Violent , RSS agent or BJP agent if its true also so what , There is nothing wrong with that ,That's  His Life and his own way … we have Only one Problem with him that The Lokpal which he is Intending is Big Threat to National interest , I read Your other Article about Anna Where you keep pointing him that he must be arrest , he is Violent and BJP Snooze, its all Cribbing is waste of time , This Article is Bang on Target .. 

    as same I Really Dont want to Know with How many Girls and Boys Nehru and his Daughter had Slept , but i always keen to know how they Sell India ……… 
    Thx

    Dear Sudeep

    There is a HUGE difference between someone being a member of RSS,etc. and BEATING PEOPLE with an army belt. Not all RSS members beat others with belts. Not all prohibit elections in their village. Not all prohibit meat eating in their village and act as mini-dictators.

    That Anna is a medievalist, a violent man, is VERY CLEAR. That he should have been arrested and charged with assault is also very clear.

    But as I said then and I say now, NONE of that affects his current agitation, which must be assessed on its merit.

    It has NO (or very little, at most) MERIT.
