| Anna Hazare has refused to be hospitalised despite doctors warning that his blood pressure and vital signs are worrying. A visibly weakened Anna explained to thousands of supporters, "My conscience doesn't permit me to end my fast. Even if my kidney fails, won't one of you donate one to me? I will die for this country. If the government sends someone to forcibly move me to hospital, block the exits. But I am stressing, do not engage in any violence."
A few hours before this worrying medical bulletin was shared, the Prime Minister wrote to the 74-year-old activist, urging him to end his hunger strike against corruption.
"Despite the differences between the Government and your team," the PM wrote, "I do not think that anybody is or should be in any doubt about the deep and abiding concern which I and our Government share about your health, arising from your continuing fast."
Despite his frail condition on the eighth day of his fast, Anna addressed thousands today at his sit-in protest at Ramlila Maidan. "I am fine...my doctors will not permit me to die," he said, vowing that he will not eat till his version of the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill is passed in parliamen
