Octogenarian anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare has suspended his proposed hunger strike, scheduled to begin on Monday, against the Maharashtra government’s decision to permit the sale of wine in supermarkets and grocery shops.
Mr. Hazare explained his decision by stating that the Uddhav Thackeray-led tripartite ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ government had assured to take into consideration the views of citizens before going ahead with the policy. A ‘gram sabha’ was held on Sunday in Mr. Hazare’s native village Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar district.
