Octogenarian social activist Anna Hazare on Thursday came out in support of farmer protests and warned the Central government that he would begin a 'Jan Andolan' if farmers' demands remain unaddressed.

"The then Congress government was left shaken during the time of 'Lokpal Andolan'. I see these farmer protests issue along the same lines. On the day of Bharat Bandh, I had organised an andolan in my village in Ralegan-Siddhi. I had fasted for a day in support of farmers," said Hazare.
