Anna Hazare has sought permission from Tihar Jail authorities for a meeting with some of his top associates to plan his strategy.

Jail sources said he has sought permission for holding a meeting with associates like Kiran Bedi, Swami Agnivesh and lawyer Prashant Bhushan before his likely decision to come out.

The associates had earlier said that Hazare was likely to come out of the jail anytime and may go to J P Park, his preferred venue for the indefinite fast in support of his campaign for a strong Lokpal.

Inside the jail, another associate Arvind Kejriwal is with Hazare and has refused to come out.
