According to Hazare’s aide Datta Awari, the protest began at 11 am and concluded at 1 pm. Hazare staged the silent protest at the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Ahilyanagar before leaving for his village, Ralegan Siddhi, located in the same district.
Earlier on Wednesday, Hazare wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing his distress over the developments surrounding the protests. He stated that "the news of violence and police action is extremely painful".
In his letter to the Prime Minister, Hazare said the dissatisfaction among protesters should not be treated merely as a law and order issue. He emphasized that the concerns raised by protesters should be viewed as "the agony and expectations of society".
Hazare’s silent protest in Ahilyanagar marked his public expression of solidarity with the protesting students in Delhi, highlighting his call for authorities to address the underlying concerns and sentiments behind the demonstrations.
