Mumbai: In a sudden climb down, Anna Hazare on Wednesday made a surprise announcement of calling off his campaign to fill jails from Friday and ended his fast.

No reasons were given by the 74-year-old activist for the abrupt decisions but apparently it was the poor public response to the three-day fast which he had began here on Tuesday and to have a parallel fast by his team in Delhi that weighed heavily on his mind.

He was also unwell and was earlier urged by his doctors to give up the fast. A girl from Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare’s village, gave the activist a glass of juice to break the fast.

Hazare offered juice to his team members Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Mayank Gandhi.

Our Staff Reporter adds: Meanwhile, in line with Anna Hazare’s decision to suspend his protest and call off his fast, the Mait Shaprang Movement and CSWO too have called of their jail bharo campaign which is scheduled to be held on December 30.

CSWO sources while informing about the decision also stated that they will also launch a campaign in future for a strong Lokayukta Act in the State.
