Baba Ramdev to end fast at 11 am

New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who was on Monday detained while leading a big march to Parliament to push his demand for bringing back black money stashed abroad, on Wednesday morning announced that he would call off his fast at 11 am. 

Ramdev, who was kept in detention at Ambedkar Stadium here along with hundreds of his supporters before being let off by the Delhi Police, stayed put at the detention venue and said this morning that he would proceed to Haridwar in Uttarakhand after ending his fast.

Yesterday, before beginning the march Ramdev had indicated plans to oppose the Congress in the 2014 General Elections.

"I had earlier said that I will end my fast in Jail. This stadium is a makeshift jail. I had said will call off my fast only after my supporters get food and water. Late in the night, they were provided with food and water," Ramdev said.

"They have appealed to me to end the fast at 11:00 am," Ramdev said, addressing his supporters this morning.

The yoga guru said history will be created today and he will announce his next course of action before noon.

Ramdev held an early morning strategy session with his close aides to fine tune the future course of his protest.

His campaign got a big fillip yesterday with various political parties, including many supporting the government, coming out in open support.
