Anna's fast enters fifth day, supporters flock Ramlila ground

Social activist Anna Hazare continued his fast for the fifth consecutive day on Saturday at the capital's historic Ramlila ground. The 74-year-old veteran's fast entered the second day today, at the Maidan, with thousands continuing to pour in at the fast venue lending support to Anna's cause. Anna launched his indefinite fast on Tuesday, following which he was arrested and sent to Tihar jail for three days. However, the social activist refused to budge and continued his fast while he was in jail. On Friday, Anna shifted his fast venue from the jail to the Ramlila Maidan. The Anti-graft crusader declared on Friday that he would continue his fast till Jan Lokpal Bill, drafted by the civil society members is passed in the Parliament.
