New Delhi: Anna Hazare on Sunday said the protest by his supporters outside Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's official residence was a reaction by the people who were angry at the government.

However, he advised all his supporters to "think before doing any such things".

"People are fed up and angry as they have been suffering for so long. We should think before taking any such step as it involves the country's prime minister," Hazare told reporters here before beginning his indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar.
