Anna Hazare And His Fast

Veteran social activist Anna Hazare has cancelled his planned fast against the three central agricultural laws. He announced his decision today in the presence of senior BJP leader and former Maharashtra chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis.

Activist Anna Hazare on Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and reiterated his decision to launch "the last hunger strike" of his life on farmers' issues in Delhi by January end.

Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan and senior Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil on Sunday met social activist Anna Hazare who is on a hunger strike in his native Ralegan Siddhi village in Ahmednagar.

Social activist Anna Hazare today said he would fast unto death from March 23 in Delhi if his demand for passing "proper" bills for Lokpal, Lokayukta and electoral reforms were not met.

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.

Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, which owes its birth to the anti-graft agitation led by Gandhian Anna Hazare and his followers in the India Against Corruption (IAC), is getting a taste of its own medicine with five of its members sitting on an indefinite fast outside the party's Hanuman Road office in protest against the alleged lack of transpar...

Minutes after the Rajya Sabha passed the Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill 2013, 76-year-old Gandhian activist Anna Hazare announced in his Maharashtra village that he would call off his hunger-strike once the Lok Sabha passes the anti-corruption legislation.

Anna Hazare, who is on the fourth day of a hunger strike in Maharashtra, angrily asked a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to leave his village today.

Social activist and former IPS officer Kiran Bedi will on Saturday join Anna Hazare in his ongoing indefinite hunger strike for the cause of Jan Lokpal Bill, at Ralegan Siddhi village in Ahmednagar.

Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to break his two-week long fast at 5 pm today. Mr Kejriwal is protesting against Delhi residents being over-charged for water and electricity because of an alleged conspiracy between the government and private firms. He says though his fast is ending, the protest will not.

Anti-corruption activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal's fast has entered its 14th day today. Mr Kejriwal has been on a hunger strike since March 23 against what he calls inflated water and power bills in the national capital. The core committee of his Aam Aadmi Party is meeting currently to decide on how to take the protest forward.

For 11 days, Arvind Kejriwal has survived only on water in nearly 38-degree heat in Delhi. The founder of the Aam Aadmi Party has lost seven kilos, according to doctors, since he began his hunger strike to protest against what he describes as the government's complicity with private firms to over-charge Delhi residents for water and power.

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.
