Anna Hazare reached the Mahatma Gandhi memorial in Ahilyanagar to express solidarity with students protesting over alleged examination irregularities. Instead of delivering a speech, he chose to participate in a maun andolan (silent protest), maintaining that the demonstration should remain non-violent and focused on the students' cause.

During the protest, Hazare appeared emotional as he sat with the students. Despite repeated requests from journalists, he declined to make any public statement, saying that he would not speak to the media because the protest was intended to remain silent.
Before joining the demonstration, Hazare briefly interacted with reporters but left the interview midway without answering further questions, drawing significant attention.
The protest lasted for nearly two hours, with students demanding accountability and transparency over the examination controversy. Hazare's participation has brought national attention to the movement, reflecting his continued support for peaceful, Gandhian methods of protest and dialogue over confrontation.
