Update

The Government may allow Anna Hazare to go ahead with his fast at New Delhi's Ramilia Maidan. Hazare supporter Manish Sisodia said that the Government has agreed to allow the use of Ramlila Maidan for the fast for five days. But Hazare is reportedly adamant that he wants to continue his protest for one month.

"Anna wants a written approval for the venue. We want a new venue. Ramlila Maidan is the venue which the Government has agreed too, but only for five days, which we disagree with. The discussions are on and we want it for one month. Anna will continue his fast," said Sisodia.
