Kejriwal had abruptly left the Jantar Mantar venue of the joint fast by Ramdev and Anna Hazare but later clarified that he had moved out as he was unwell.
Today's decision was taken at a day-long meeting of Team Anna's core committee which was attended by Anna Hazare, Santosh Hegde, Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kiran Bedi among others.
Hazare later told reporters that it was unanimously decided to invite Ramdev for Team Anna's protest from July 25.
"We have also decided to participate in the agitation called by Ramdev from August 9. They will participate in our programme and we will do the same by taking part in their protest," Hazare said.
