Anna Hazare begins indefinite hunger strike in Delhi's Ramlilla Maidan
New Delhi, Mar 23 (IBNS): Veteran social activist Anna Hazare on Thursday was back in action, beginning an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi Ramlila Maidan to press for the demand for setting up of Lok Pal bill and implementation of the Swaminatha Commission report, reports said.
Thousands of people, including a sizeable representation from the agrarian community, have thronged the Ramlila Maidan in solidarity with Hazare's demand.
Ahead of starting his hunger strike, Anna took a dig at the Government and claimed that they are trying to create a Hindrance to his protest.
"You canceled trains carrying protesters to Delhi, you want to push them to violence. Police Force deployed for me as well. I wrote in many letters that I don't need police protection. Your protection won't save me. This sly attitude of the government is not done," he said.
Before beginning his hunger strike, Anna visited Rajghat and marched to Shaheedi Park.
