New Delhi: Team Anna supporters on Thursday staged protests outside the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in the national capital, demanding that the party should support Anna Hazare's campaign against corruption.

Several supporters gathered outside the party office and shouted slogans against the BJP for not supporting the activists for a stringent Lokpal Bill. Some Team Anna activists had protested at the BJP office on Wednesday as well.

At Jantar Mantar, Hazare and his team members announced that they would call off their agitation on Friday evening, having continued the indefinite fast for nine days.

Team Anna supporters demanded that the BJP should support Anna Hazare\'s campaign against corruption.

The decision to call off the hunger strike was taken due to rising concern about the health of Arvind Kejriwal, Gopal Rai and Manish Sisodia, who have been on fast since July 25, activists said. Hazare began his hunger strike on July 29.
