Nation’s victory, thousands begin march from India Gate – Hindustan Times
Thousands gathered at India Gate this evening to celebrate victory of Anna Hazare’s crusade against anti-corruption took the nation by storm. The Gandhian on Sunday broke his 12-day fast declaring that electoral reforms will be on top of his agenda.
After days of protests, festivities which began last night after Parliament passed a resolution agreeing in-principle to Hazare’s three demands on Lokpal issue, reached a crescendo when the Gandhian accepted a glass of coconut water from a Dalit and a Muslim girl – Simran and Ikrah – at 10.20am, breaking his 288 hours of fast that began on August 16.
Victory flags or ‘Gudhi’ were put up in almost every house in Hazare’s village in Maharashtra as people, who assembled outside the Yadavbaba temple where he lives, said they were eagerly waiting for their “hero” to return.
