Anna Hazare and his team when realize that their indefinite fast was going to waste as government is reluctant to response Team Anna and not willing to pass in Jan Lokpal bill in this parliament session, they (team Anna) realize to challenge the government by providing the public a political alternative, so they have decided to end their fast unconditional.
