Click to play videoNew Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare ended his day-long fast in New Delhi on Sunday after hosting a political debate in front of thousands of supporters on Lokpal Bill.
During the token fast, Anna asked the nation to join him in his fight to get a strong Lokpal.
Anna also launched a direct attack on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and called him weak and powerless.
The social activist also threatened to intensify his anti-corruption protests by courting arrest if the government fails to pass a law for a strong Lokpal in India.
"The government should listen to the voice of the people. Agitation will continue for a strong Lokpal," Hazare said in his speech at Jantar Mantar.
Hazare told the politicians - including Arun Jaitley of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Brinda Karat of the Communist Party of India-Marxist and AB Bardhan of the Communist Party of India - to fight for a strong Lokpal inside the parliament and force the government to pass an effective law.
The politicians earlier backed Hazare on having a strong ombudsman with the prime minister under its ambit but cautioned him not to be rigid on his version of the bill.
