Activist Anna Hazare says he will begin an indefinite hunger strike from July 5 at Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district if the state government does not withdraw amendments to the Right to Information (RTI) Rules. Multiple reports describe Hazare as challenging the government’s changes as “illegal,” and say he argues that the government has not provided a clear, rational explanation or financial analysis for the amendments. Hazare has also indicated that his move is tied to the specific RTI-related changes, including a reported increase in RTI fees. According to accounts that include details of communication with the state leadership, Hazare has written to the Chief Minister warning of the hunger strike if the amendments are not revoked. The proposed protest is framed as a demand for immediate withdrawal of the amendments, with Hazare presenting July 5 as the start date. The reports reflect the activist’s stated position; they do not provide an updated government response within the provided excerpts.
