After three days of fasting, in a video released by Kiran Bedi, Anna says he can easily go on without food for 15 more days

The crowd is not ready to vacate the area around Tihar Jail as yet, in a hope to get a glimpse of social activist Anna Hazare. On Thursday evening, a member of Team Anna, Kiran Bedi, released a video of the Gandhian addressing the people from Tihar Jail, on YouTube.

"My health is fine, don't worry about me. I am not feeling tired," said the 74-year-old to Kiran Bedi, a former police officer and now his close aide.

He said he was enthused by the widespread expression of support from all over India. "Three days have passed but I am fit. I can march another 5km. If the youth of this country are awakened, anything is possible. I had a dream that the youth will join a mass movement and seeing so many young people joining us, I can see my dream coming true. The more I listen to them cheering and demanding our right, the more strength I get," he said.

The Gandhian added, "I am at Tihar Jail and the national support is giving me strength. I feel I won't be affected by the fast for the next 15 days. I am healthy, do not worry about me. We will stop only when the Bill is passed."
