Anna Hazare Sits On Fast, Appeals To Spread Farmers' Protest

Supporting the 'December 8 Bharat Bandh’ called by farmers, activist Anna Hazare has started a day-long hunger strike in his Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra. Anna said the protests in Delhi should spread throughout the nation to create a pressure on the Centre. The 83-year-old also released a recorded message appreciating the farmers for the non-violent protests. Hazare said, “I had backed this cause earlier also, and will continue to do so.”
