Mr. Hazare came to the podium at around 10 a.m. as supporters started pouring into Ramlila grounds where he launched his protest on Friday after coming out of Tihar Jail.
After reaching the podium, Mr. Hazare “thanked” people for extending whole-hearted support to his campaign against corruption. “I thank all of you for coming here and supporting the movement,” the 74-year-old anti-corruption crusader said in a brief comment.
Earlier in the morning, Mr. Hazare and his close associates — Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Shanti Bhushan, Manish Sisodia — held a meeting. Activist Medha Patkar was also present.
Although the government and Team Anna on Saturday spoke of the need for a dialogue on the Lokpal issue, no such channel of communication has yet been opened, according to activists.
