Renowned social activist Anna Hazare proceeded on fast unto death at Delhi yesterday demanding the government to bring in a stronger Lokpal Bill to tackle corruption. Mr. Hazare is supported by a large number of people from all walks of life. Two political parties BJP and JD(U) are also backing Anna Hazare in putting pressure on the government.

On the second day, today, of his indefinite hunger strike, the social activist reiterated that he would continue with his fast until the government gives in to the demand for a committee half of which comprises officials and the remaining citizens and intellectuals for drafting the Jan Lokpal Bill. While there is no official statement from the government yet, the party spokesman Mr. Manish Tiwari said "PM has already constituted a sub-committee headed by Antony... When the process was already on, then adopting such a path is perhaps not appropriate, probably unnecessary. We respect Hazare very much ... The path he has adopted is premature."

The indefinite fast by Anna Hazare is likely to continue further as there is lot of support pouring in from all sections of the society. In cities across India, people are gathering to support activist Anna Hazare. Young students, housewives and office executives grouped in cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad in support of Anna's crusade against corruption.
