Anna Jantar Mantar Fast

Union Minister General (Retd) VK Singh has criticised social activist Anna Hazare for sharing dais with Congress leader Raj Babbar and AAP's Arvind Kejriwal during his protest against the land bill at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

Anna Hazare on Friday night visited Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal at his indefinite hunger strike site in Delhi and urged him to call off his fast citing his deteriorating health.

Anna Hazare has said that he will not resort to fasting any more to press for his demands, and will fight for his causes through agitations. "Now onwards I will not undertake fast. In future I will fight for my causes through agitations," Hazare said last night at a Ganesh mandal ceremony in Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial township near here.

Minutes before Team Anna ended its hunger strike on stage at the Jantar Mantar venue of their protest, they announced that they are forming a political party, which will contest the elections, with an aim to take their anti-corruption struggle to Parliament.

On the 10th day of his hunger strike, and just before he ended it, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal looked frail and sat on a chair as he announced that the anti-corruption activists would float a political party and take their campaign to Parliament. To much applause from the crowds gathered at the Jantar Mantar venue of Anna Hazare's protest, Arv...

Actor Anupam Kher addressed the crowd. "You are not in uniform...but every single one of you here is a soldier against corruption," he said.
