Indian anti-corruption activist ends hunger strike
None
An Indian reform activist whose protest galvanized the nation's anger against corruption ended his 12-day hunger strike Sunday after forcing Parliament to throw its weight behind his crusade.
Seventy-four-year-old Anna Hazare said: "This is your victory. This is the fruit of your work in the last 13 days," Hazare told the crowd, filled with supporters wearing the white cloth caps, reminiscent of India's independence leaders, that have become the protests' signature. Hazare was expected to be hospitalized later in the day. (AP)
