Huge anti-graft rally piles pressure on Indian govt

Tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets of New Delhi Wednesday in support of a fasting anti-corruption activist involved in a high-stakes standoff with India's graft-tainted government.

Veteran campaigner Anna Hazare, 74, brought huge, spontaneous crowds onto the streets within hours when he appealed from jail for a mass demonstration through the ceremonial heart of the Indian capital.

Other anti-graft protests were held in cities across the country, in a direct challenge to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who slammed Hazare's hunger strike as "totally misconceived" and undemocratic.

Hazare's protest, which is focused on what he sees as a watered-down anti-corruption law introduced in parliament, has attracted support from India's middle-classes and constant media coverage. AFP
