With the government refusing to play ball, Team Anna today decided to end their “indefinite” fast at 5 pm on Friday — the tenth day of the protest — even as they announced their “historic decision” to “give the country a political alternative”. Addressing his supporters today, Anna Hazare said: “It is another two years to go to polls in 2014. We have to go to the people throughout the country in the next one and a half years. Why waste time on fasts?”
