New Delhi: The Union Home Ministry has written a letter to the Delhi Police, asking the force to shift anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, whose fast in support of a stronger Lokpal Bill entered its eighth day today, to a hospital in case his health deteriorates.
According to Ministry sources, the Ministry, concerned over the health condition of the 74-year-old Gandhian, has asked the Delhi Police to act as per the health condition of Hazare.
Anna Hazare’s health was “reaching a difficult stage”, his associate Kiran Bedi tweeted this evening.
“Pray for Anna’s health. He is reaching a difficult stage. Dr Trehan is on his way,” Bedi tweeted.
Today was day eight of 74-year-old Anna Hazare’s fast against the government’s Lokpal bill.
“While talks will be on we are very concerned of Anna’s health.
Pray pl(ease),” Bedi said.
The Government today invited the protesting activists for talks.
Hazare’s health condition was said to be fine by doctors this morning. He has lost 5.5 kg. Ketone particles (created by the body during starvation) have been found in his blood but were said to be in the safe limit.
