Anna Fast At Jantar Mantar

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...

Throwing light on its proposed "political alternative", Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal said on Friday that it would not be a party but an "andolan" or movement. "Our aim is not to grab power, but to end the Delhi-centric government and take governance to the villages and the people. Ours will not be a party, but a movement," Kejriwal told the tho...

On Team Anna's 9th day of fast, actor Anupam Kher was at Jantar Mantar with a letter signed by prominent citizens urging them to call off their fast and tackle the issue on a different leverl. The letter signed by people like Gen VK Singh who recently retired as Army Chief and Santosh Hegde, the former Karnataka Lokayukta urged Team Anna to enter ...

Anna Hazare's fast at Jantar Mantar

It's the ninth day of the hunger strike by members of Team Anna at the capital's Jantar Mantar, and the big worry for them at this point is that there has been no effort by the government to engage with them so far. The social activists, led by Anna Hazare, who began his hunger strike on Sunday, are demanding independent probe into corruption charg...

With the deteriorating health of Team Anna activists who are on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, the Delhi Police has written a letter to the activists reminding them that when they were given permission to hold their protest, they had agreed in writing to move to hospital if their health was in danger.

Activist Anna Hazare, 75, is in on the third day of his hunger strike against corruption at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. The government says that it's upto his supporters to convince him to end his fast. "Those that gave permission for the camp at Jantar Mantar will decide how to deal with issues like deteriorating health," said government sources, who ...

Delhi woke up to a Monday without any electricity. Metro trains weren't running, so commuters hit the roads, where traffic lights weren't working because of a massive power outage across North India. At 9 am, attendance was sparse at activist Anna Hazare's protest camp in the capital.

Team Anna supporters today marched to India Gate from their protest venue at Jantar Mantar here in support of Anna Hazare's indefinite fast for a strong Lokpal Bill. Waving the tricolour and shouting slogans, protesters led by Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan, marched this evening from Jantar Mantar, where Hazare and his close aides were on fast,...
