The central government on Wednesday said Anna Hazare was free to go wherever he wants to and that Delhi Police will take a decision on whether he will be allowed to hold protest at J P Park.

Union Home Secretary R K Singh said since Hazare has been released he is free to go wherever he wants to.

"He is in the office of the DIG, Tihar Jail. He rested at night and he and his supporters have been given a hall. I am quite sure that Delhi Police officers have been talking to him," he told media persons.

"He has been released. He can go wherever he wants, he is free and officers from Delhi Police will be asking him where he wants to go," Singh said.

On Anna's demand to protest at JP Park, the Home Secretary said the Delhi Police will take a call on the issue.
