Veteran social activist Anna Hazare has climbed down from his earlier position that he will only fast at Jantar Mantar. Mr Hazare, who was planning an indefinite fast from August 16, said the issue was more important than the venue of protest. "It is not necessary to get a space at Jantar-Mantar, any other venue with connectivity will do. The issue is more important than the place of protest," said Mr Hazare.
