2500 turn out in support of Hazare at Rajghat

Another update from rediff.com's Sahiim Salim from Rajghat: Estimates suggest a turnout of over 2500 at Anna Hazare's fast today to protest against the police action against Baba Ramdev and his followers over the weekend. Today's turnout is impressive because for one, it is a weekday and like the last time, people from all walks of life are here. I don't think even the organisers planned for so many people as they are repeatedly asking the cops to accommodate more people by moving the barricades further behind.
