Who will foot Anna Hazare's hospital bill?

It was not clear on Tuesday as to who would pay the medical bill of Anna Hazare, recuperating at Gurgaon's Medanta Medicity after his 12-day fast, even as hospital chairman Naresh Trehan hinted that a decision on the charges would be taken later.

"He is a decent man. I have immense respect for what he is doing. Let us first see the bills, only then something can be said," Trehan said.  

Hazare has been under the medical supervision of Trehan and has not been charged till now.

India Against corruption (IAC) member Aswathi Muralidharan told IANS: "Till now, he has not been charged. We can only say who will pay the bill if we get the bill."

"Even when Trehan had seen him earlier, he was not charged,” she added.

After breaking his 288-hour fast Sunday, Hazare was admitted to the Gurgaon-based hospital where he was given coconut water and honey at regular intervals.
