4 pm: Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi announces she will sit on indefinite fast with Anna from Saturday onwards.
"I don't have anything else to give to the nation except my life. I am Anna's younger sister. We won't leave Anna alone now. I haven't told my family yet about my decision to sit on fast. But I have decided not to sit silent. This is a fight to the finish.", says Kiran Bedi.
1:30 pm: Kiran Bedi reaches the stage. Tells the crowd: "Anna's tapasya (penance) is going for more than three years, that's 1000 days. Soon after Anna's fast began, minister Narayanaswamy said the government will bring the bill in the House again. This government has always misled Anna. Whenever Anna sits on fast, the issue of bill is raised, whenever he breaks his fast, the bill is sent to the cold storage. The government has spoken lies to Anna at least 15 times. If the Jan Lokpal Bill is passed, Anna will bequeath to the young generation a gift they will cherish for the rest of their lives."
1 pm: Information & Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari in Delhi: "We respect Anna a lot, we also request him to appeal to all parties to help run the House. To pass any bill, it is necessary to run the House."
11:40 am: Says Anna Hazare: "My weight has reduced, but my courage will not decline. I will fight till my last breath. People sitting in Parliament are not following the Constitution. After 66 years of independence, some people are living only to eat, and some are eating only to live. "
