Hazare, who stoked public anger at India's scandal-prone leaders this year, threatened last week to renew protests at what he sees as watering down of the Lokpal bill, a move that could blight the government's New Year election drive.
The 74-year-old activist was suffering from viral infection and his personal assistant Suresh Pathare had been insisting that Hazare was well and he will be sitting on fast.
"Anna is unwell. Will you request Anna to withdraw his fast?" Bedi asked the crowd, which responded with a loud "Yes".
