Anna supporters protest at BJP office

The supporters of anti corruption crusader, Anna Hazare have gathered at the BJP party office in Delhi and staged protests demanding the party for extending their support to Anna Hazare and his movement India Against Corruption. They raised slogans against the party for not supporting the Lokpal Bill. The BJP has not responded to the protest so far.

Notably, a large number of Indian Against Corruption activists have also protested on Wednesday in front of BJP party office in national capital territory. Meanwhile, Anna Hazare declared that he and his followers would call off fast on Friday evening and said his team would enter politics. Reacting on this statement, Ambika Soni said it was good that the intentions of Anna Hazare were clear now.

It may be recalled that Anna Hazare has sat for hunger protest on Sunday for the second time in support of Lokpal Bill. When he staged protest for the first time, the government came down and accepted to bring Lokpal Bill. Anna then had quit the fast but he expressed his displeasure as the proposed bill was amended. He mentioned he would stage fast unto death in case government doesn't accepts to bring the real Lokpal Bill. As said earlier, Anna Hazare staged protest and government didn't come down this time. Since the health of Anna Hazare and his team members were deteriorating, Anna gave up. He said he would end the fast.
