    What's the story

    As the most famous resident of their village continued his indefinite hunger strike in Delhi, people in Anna Hazare's Ralegan Siddhi on Monday replicated actor Dharmendra's protest atop a water tank in the iconic film "Sholay", to support the social activist's demands.

    A group of residents of the village, located in Parner tehsil of Ahmednagar district, climbed atop the water tank and shouted slogans.

    Demands

    Some protesters even threatened to jump off the tank

    The villagers demanded that the government should accept Hazare's demands, which include the appointment of a Lokpal at the Centre and Lokayukta in states.

    Some protesters carried the national tricolor, while some threatened to jump off the tank if their demands were not accepted, an aide of the activist said.

    Hazare began his indefinite hunger strike in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on March 23.

    Hazare's 2011 agitation in Delhi had led to the passing of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act 2013, but the Centre is yet to appoint a Lokpal.

    This time, Hazare is also demanding that the government ensure better Minimum Support Price for farmers' agro produce to address the agrarian distress.
