A week after he was admitted for chest infection, Anna Hazare was today discharged from hospital and said he will take a month's break as he was feeling weak before applying his mind to the next phase of the anti-corruption movement.

"I am all right now, but still feeling weak. I have to take a break as the doctors have advised rest for some days. I will think about it (agitation) after I am fully recovered," 74-year-old Hazare told reporters, who asked him about his next move on the Lokpal Bill issue.

About charges of corruption being levelled against members of his team, Hazare said, "I was not in touch with the outside world for ten days." He refused to answer queries in this regard.

On his proposed tour of the five poll-bound states, he said, he would not be able to undertake travel for the time being as per the doctors' advice.

"It is a long drawn out battle (against corruption), which I am fighting for the last 25 years. I have to take some rest as per the doctors' advice. After I have fully recovered, I will go out," he added.

Hazare was admitted to Sancheti hospital here on December 31, after he developed acute bronchitis, soon after the fast he undertook in Mumbai on December 27 in support of a strong Lokpal Bill. He cut short his three-day fast midway following poor public response both in Mumbai and Delhi.

According to Dr K H Sancheti, Hazare has recovered well, but needed one month's rest to avoid relapse.

The Gandhian drove straight to Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar district after his discharge from hospital.

Earlier this week, Kiran Bedi, Hazare's aide who visited him in the hospital, had made it clear that he would not be undertaking any campaign during the upcoming Assembly polls to five states as announced earlier or fast in view of the medical advice.
