Team Anna member Akhil Gogoi broke his fast on Monday afternoon after nine days at the request of the Gandhian leader, but said that his campaign against big dams would continue.

Gogoi, who has been on an indefinite fast since May 19, took a glass of juice from another team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal at around 3.30 pm.

"I also request others who have been fasting with me to break their fast and get ready for renewed struggle," a visibly weak looking Gogoi said after breaking his fast at the Lakhidar Bora Khetra, where hundreds of members of his krishak mukti sangram samiti (KMSS) has been campaiging for past few days.

Kejriwal, who flew down from New Delhi on Monday morning, first met Gogoi at the Guwahati medical college and later both of them went to the campaign site.

The police had last week forcible removed Gogoi from the site and admitted him to the GMC after deterioration of his health.

Kejriwal said Gogoi broke his fast after a telephonic conversation with Anna Hazare.

"Anna told Akhil not to confine himself to anti-dam movement in Assam and instead take over leadership of the civil society's fight across the country. He has suggested that Akhil undertakes a nation-wide tour and bring together all like-minded groups," Kejriwal said.

"Anna also told Akhil that he will fast together with him the next time," he said.

Kejriwal accussed the Assam government of adopting force against anti-dam activists and said the police action against Gogoi and his supporters in the middle of night was similar to the Delhi police's against Baba Ramdev and his group in 2011.
