In New Dehli, a protest leader named Anna Hazare was arrested Tuesday en route to a city park where thousands of supporters would have joined him in an anti-corruption hunger strike. The police issued a release for Hazare on Wednesday, but Hazare refused to leave jail until he was allowed to do so unconditionally. At last, Hazare accepted a police offer to limit his hunger strike and mass demonstration to 15 days. Mr. Hazare is pushing for the creation of an independent anti-corruption agency. A bill is already pending in parliament, but Hazare believes this bill is too weak because it exempts the prime minister and the judiciary from scrutiny. India's news stations have provided round-the-clock coverage which has heightened public attention.
