As hundreds of people gathered outside the Tihar Jail in support of activist Anna Hazare, he decided to stay in prison till the location of his fast is finalised, a close aide said Wednesday.

"He will continue to sit on fast in Tihar unless given unconditional permission to sit at J.P. Park or any other public place. If the government permits him to do that, he will come out of Tihar and sit there," said Prashant Bhushan, member of Hazare's team.
