Saturday, August 27, 2011: Anna Hazare will break his fast at 10 am tomorrow, according to his close associate Kiran Bedi. Bedi tweeted that the 74-year-old activist does not break his fast after sunset.
“Anna is known to have never broken his fast after sunset. Recall, he did so even in April fast. This is his decision again. He decides,” she tweeted.
Later, Bedi told media he will break the fast at 10 am tomorrow. If he breaks his fast tomorrow at 10 am, he will complete 288 hours of his hunger strike which began on August 16.

The resolution read: “This house agrees in principle on the following issues for a strong and effective Lokpal.
A) Citizen charter
B) Lower bureaucracy to be under Lokpal through an appropriate mechanism
C) Establishment of Lokayukts in the states
B) Lower bureaucracy to be under Lokpal through an appropriate mechanism

And further resolves to forward the proceedings of the House to the department-related standing committee for its perusal while finalising its report.”
