New Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare on Monday said that he has written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh informing him about his decision to go on an indefinite fast from August 16 to fight against corruption.
"I have written to the Prime Minister about our fast at Jantar Mantar from August 16. It is our constitutional right to protest, so when the government says that it will crush our andolan like Baba Ramdev's, it is not right," Hazare said at a press conference in the capital.
"We are ready to get arrested and be beaten up but we have had enough of corruption. We are ready to sacrifice our lives... that is what I have written to the prime minister," he added.
Lawyer Prashant Bhushan of Team Anna said they have informed the Delhi Police about their protest.
Anna Hazare and his team have been campaigning for a strong Lokpal bill to fight corruption.
Here's a copy of the letter:
