New Delhi: The scheduled end of Baba Ramdev's fast at the Ramlila grounds in Delhi on Monday turned into a daylong game of attrition between the yoga guru and the police, throwing traffic completely out of gear and making parts of central Delhi out of bounds for hours.
The day started with Ramdev announcing that he and his supporters would march to Parliament to push the government to bring back black money stashed abroad. The protest gathered momentum with NDA leaders addressing the crowd. The day ended with Ramdev spending the night at Ambedkar stadium with around 9,000 followers, his fast still continuing. According to police sources, the protesters will not be forcibly evicted but asked to leave on Tuesday.
