Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Sunday broke his nine-day-old fast that sparked a political slugfest heeding appeals of spiritual and religious leaders but vowed to continue his campaign against corruption.
Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who met the 46-year-old yoga exponent for the third day at a Dehradun hospital to persuade him to give up his fast said, "Ramdev has broken his fast by taking juice."
"He ended the fast in the presence of various religious and spiritual leaders", The Art of Living Founder said.
Doctors said he will be discharged from hospital in two-three days though his condition is "stable".
The Congress and the BJP welcomed Ramdev's decision to end the fast. Congress General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said it is "good news" while BJP spokesperon Ravi Shankar Prasad said the party had a "sense of satisfaction".
