Social crusader Anna Hazare Tuesday said he would resume his agitation for an effective Lokpal (ombudsman) bill with the Oct 13 Hisar Lok Sabha by-election in Haryana.

"Depending on my schedules, I shall go to Hisar and hold a couple of public meetings in Hisar. If not, I shall send a video message to the people of Hisar explaining how the Congress has blocked the Jan Lokpal bill and urge them not to vote for it," Hazare declared in his village in Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar district.
