Supporters of veteran Indian social activist Anna Hazare hold his portrait as they wait for Hazare to leave Tihar jail in New Delhi August 18, 2011. India's beleaguered government caved in to popular fury over corruption on Wednesday after thousands protested across the country, granting permission for a self-styled Gandhian crusader to stage a 15-day hunger strike in public.
He added, 'The crowds gathered to support Anna Hazare are spiritual, and there have been no incidents of violence so far in the country where political rallies turn violent easily,' Kejriwal said.'We've asked all our supporters that if they see anyone indulging in unsocial behaviour, they should immediately report to police.'
Hazare, 74, had planned to begin his fast for a stronger Lokpal Bill at the J.P. Park in the ITO area Tuesday.
