Residents of Gandhian activist Anna Hazare's village Ralegan Siddhi on Tuesday took to the streets to protest the detention of the anti-corruption crusader in New Delhi. There were demonstrations in Pune and Mumbai too.
Delhi Police on Monday rejected permission for Anna Hazare’s indefinite fast as his team refused to give an undertaking that the Gandhian would end it by Thursday and restrict the number of protestors to 5,000, setting the stage for a showdown between the two parties.
The Hazare team said the Gandhian and his supporters would court arrest on Tuesday at Jai Prakash Narain Park near Ferozeshah Kotla stadium in New Delhi after paying tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat.

The conditions that were not accepted by the Hazare team were capping the day of protest to three and the number of protestors to below 5,000, government doctors to check on Mr. Hazare, ban on use of loudspeakers after 9 p.m., limiting the number of vehicles to 50 cars and 50 motorcycles in parking and that no tent be erected.
A senior police official said they had been “very accommodating” and had gone out of the way to help them. He said they would be forced to take action against Hazare team if they forcibly enter the park on Tuesday.
