Anna Hazare breaks his indefinite fast

"I am now hoping that it will be made into a law before the (2014) election code of conduct comes into force," he added.

He expressed gratitude to the media, security forces, Jantantra Manch volunteers who made food and water arrangements for all visitors to Ralegan-Siddhi during the past nine days and all those who supported the agitation.

Hazare launched the hunger strike Dec 10 and vowed to continue it till the bill was presented during the current winter session of parliament and passed to make it a law.
