Anna broke his 'Maun Vrat'

 


On Friday Anna Hazare broke his 'vow of silence' for the past 19 days after paying tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat in New Delhi.

Hazare visited Gandhi's memorial at around 7 am and he broke his 'maun vrat', observed since Oct 16, saying 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'.

Team Anna had got engulfed in a series of controversies including financial misconduct, during Hazare's 19-day 'maun vrat'.

He had last week held a meeting with prominent members in Ralegan Siddhi during which it was decided that the anti-corruption movement will have a constitution and its core members will have to adhere to certain norms.

Hazare had threatened to launch another hunger strike if a strong Lokpal Bill is not passed in Parliament's Winter Session.
