Thousands of Anna Hazare supporters today swamped the national capital's VVIP areas with hundreds coming close to Parliament House raising slogans in support of the Gandhian.
The limelight of the protest shifted from Tihar jail to India Gate and Jantar Mantar in the evening as people "worried about corruption" descended on the streets waving the Tricolour and chanting slogans, responding to a call from Hazare to fill the roads leading to Parliament.
The area close to the Parliament House, where heated debate on the handling of Anna Hazare affair was about to conclude with Home Minister P Chidambaram's reply, reverberated with clapping, slogan-shouting, and cries of Vande-Mataram as a huge crowd thronged Parliament Street.
A car of a senior official of Delhi Police was stuck in the crowd and allowed to go after booing and anti-police slogans.
A section of people, who were scheduled to march from India Gate to Jantar Mantar, drifted towards Parliament despite their leaders appealing them to stick to the route.
The procession of about 2,000 people reached the barricades put up by the police near Parliament annexe.
