A group of elderly Gandhians began a "fast unto death" here today to protest against the government's alleged "inaction" to fight corruption.
The indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, coinciding with the 63rd death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, came as the seven Gandhians took their one-month long protest to the second level.
They had earlier given a one-month ultimatum to the government to meet their demands which include appointment of a commission to look into graft charges against public servants, disqualification of candidates with criminal background and forfeiture of illegally acquired property of public servants.
