Anna arrives at Ramlila maidan, launches mass-protest
The rain came down hard as Anna Hazare took centrestage at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi to formally launch his mass-protest against corruption. 2000 people had spent the morning waiting to receive him as he made his way over from Tihar Jail atop a truck. En route, he prayed at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat and made a quick stop at India Gate. Thousands of people accompanied him, doubling what was meant to be a one-hour journey, and causing massive traffic jams.
