Anna Hazare to sit for a hunger strike if Centre fails to fulfil demands The octogenarian said the Centre would be soon apprised of the date and venue of the fast. Hazare had observed another fast in support of the Bharat Bandh. | 14 Dec 2020 4:02 PM GMT Pune: Social activist Anna Hazare wrote to Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Monday, "resumption of a hunger strike" against the Centre's "failure" to fulfil his demands including the implementation of the recommendations made by MS Swaminathan Commission. Hazare's other demand include granting autonomy to the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). The anti-graft activist had sat on a fast in his Ralegaon Siddhi village in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra in February 2019. He had called off the fast on February 5, 2019, after receiving a written assurance from then Union Agriculture Minister Radhe Mohan Singh, that the centre would form a high-powered committee to discuss the suggestions made by the Swaminathan Commission and other agriculture-related demands.
