Anna Hazare, now approaching the early hours of the tenth day of his hunger strike, asked the thousands gather at his camp in Delhi to make a promise to him tonight. "When they come to take me away," the 74-year-old said, "Don't try to stop them. You must remain calm, you must ills the non-violent movement we have begun together," he urged. "I am strong," he joked, "I can still run two kilometers without a problem if someone asks me to." His aides said they have heard that Anna will be airlifted tonight to a hospital.
