Hazare ends hunger strike

New Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare on Thursday ended his fast after the Central government said his demands were accepted.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minster of State for Agriculture Gajendra Shekhawat called on Hazare on Thursday evening and conveyed him messages of Central government agreeing to his demands.

Hazare, who sat on fast on Friday, said the government had not given timeline for execution so he would start hunger strike in September again if government fails to take concrete action in six months.
