August 29, 2011 21:43 IST

Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Monday visited Anna Hazare, who ended his 13-day fast for an effective Lokpal Bill, at a private hospital in neighbouring Gurgaon.

Deshmukh, who played a key role in convincing the 74-year-old leader to end the fast, met Hazare and inquired about his health.

Hazare is recuperating at a private hospital in Gurgaon after ending his fast on Saturday.

He called off the agitation after Parliament on Saturday expressed support for changes to the anti-corruption legislation as proposed by Hazare.
