New Delhi: Some India Against Corruption members were absent from Team Anna's fast venue on Friday morning, upset with the team's decision of going political. While some volunteers were absent, many returned their identity cards.

The members were upset with Team Anna's decision of breaking its fast and going political. They were also upset with the haste in which the decision was taken. While Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan had said that the team would observe the response from supporters for two days, the decision was announced before the time span.

While Anna Hazare said he will stay out of it, his supporters say they want a revolution and not another political party.
