| After nine days of fasting, Team Anna will call off their indefinite hunger strike at 5 pm today. This is after Anna made two crucial announcements at Jantar Mantar yesterday. His right wrist full of raakhis, Anna said he and his team are going to end their fast on Friday and that his aides want feedback within 48 hours on whether they should form a political party.
Anna said there was nothing wrong with forming a party but expressed concerns over funds to contest elections.
"There is nothing wrong with forming a party...we need to provide an alternative to the people," the 75-year-old said, sharing that the public's interest has to be safeguarded. His camp was filled to capacity; around him, a sea of flags waved
Before beginning his fast, Anna had told NDTV that while he will not join politics, he does not mind if some of his aides do.
The movement he fronts, India Against Corruption (IAC), has launched a referendum on Twitter and on its website about what sort of role it should play now
