"Anna will leave Tihar at around10 am," his associate Kiran Bedi said on Thursday.Hundreds of Hazare's supporters too have been camping outside the Tihar premises since Tuesday when the anti-corruptionactivist was taken to the prison after his arrest.After two days of hard negotiations, the stand-off between the Gandhian and the governmentended early Thursday with the two sides agreeing that Hazare will undertake a fast for 15 days at the Ramlila Ground subject to certain conditions.Hazare got from Delhi Police the spacious Ramlila Ground for his fast instead of the smaller J P Park.Significantly, Team Hazare made it clear that his fast would not be a fast-unto-death and he will be on hungerstrike only till his health permits.73-year-old Hazare, in a video shot inside Tihar jail, said the protests by "all my brothers and sisters, the elderly and the children" is giving him a "new energy" for his fast.He said people were fed up of corruption and the government should not take long to bring a strong Lokpal Bill.Hazare, who is on the third day of his fast inside Tihar jail, also said he is not "tired" at all.
