Anna Mmrda

Low turnout for anti-graft activist's rally at Parel, similar to the thin attendance at MMRDA grounds last December

Having vociferously asked for a discount on the rent of activist Anna Hazare's fast venue in the run-up to the protest that was called off a day early, the event's organisers now wants that day's rent back.

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, who is suffering from a chest infection after he ended his fast for a strong lokpal Bill at the MMRDA Ground in Mumbai last Wednesday, has been advised by doctors to rest. Anna's ill-health has put his team's plans to campaign against the Congress in the upcoming assembly elections in the five-poll bound states...

After the near flop-show at the MMRDA Ground in Mumbai, Anna Hazare has been keeping a low profile. Ever since his return to his village Ralegan Siddhi, Anna has not come out of his room and has not met his visitors. Anna ended his scheduled three-day fast on the evening of the second day itself. While many attributed the abrupt end of his agitatio...

Looking frail, his voice wavering uncharacteristically, Anna Hazare ended his hunger strike in Mumbai this evening. His aides say the 74-year-old is not well enough to fast any longer; they also say he has been let down by the weak anti-corruption Lokpal Bill that was passed in the Lok Sabha last night. He will neither head to Delhi now, as discuss...

Anna Hazare, 74 and unwell, has announced that he is calling off his fast at the MMRDA Grounds in Mumbai. In his changed plans, Anna will not be travelling to Delhi and is likely to head to Ralegan Siddhi after a medical check-up.

He could not pull the numbers he had in his August protest in Delhi, but Anna Hazare's speech did not seem to hold any misgivings as he thanked the people for giving him energy and warned the government that if a strong and effective Lokpal Bill was not made law, he would campaign against it in five election-bound states.

Activist Anna Hazare is not well, his doctors say. At the end of the first day of his hunger strike, the 74-year-old is reportedly down with fever once again. But he is determined not to eat. Doctors from Mumbai's JJ Hospital are stationed now at his camp at MMRDA Grounds amid reports that the Gandhian may be moved to hospital.

Concerned about Anna Hazare's health, villagers of Ralegan Siddhi will arrive in Mumbai on Wednesday. "About seven to eight vehicles, carrying people of Ralegan, including the village sarpanch, will reach Mumbai tomorrow," Mr Hazare's associate Datta Awari said.

Lokpal Bill debate: In Mumbai, Anna Hazare has settled down at the MMRDA Grounds for his three-day fast to protest against the Lokpal Bill that Parliament starts debating at 11 am.
