Mohammed Altaf Butt Chishti is one of the thousands who have come to support Baba Ramdev’s movement against corruption and black money. But he is no common man, like most others. He is a former terrorist from the restive Kashmir valley who, after a change of heart, is now on mission against corruption.

“I will support Baba Ramdev movement till the end,” Chishti told Governance Now. He further added, “Baba’s movement is good for the people of India and the country.”

Chishti has been on a ‘padyatra’ against corruption across the country and has travelled 2,000 km till date. He started his mission from Mumbai. He said his mission is for peace and against corruption in the country. “How many people raise voice of corruption against government on the issue of corruption?"

"The government has failed to the keep sentiments of people of India,” he commented on Baba’s movement.    

He also says that he wants to cleanse himself of the past sins of his association with terrorism. “Because of corruption in Kashmir, several youths were forced to become terrorists. I was forced to take guns but I don’t want the young kids from valley to do the same,” Chishti added. "I do not want another Altaf in the country."

He wore a white pant and shirt which had 13,500 signatures. He also carried a white flag, symbolising the peace mission.
