asp mvc return viewmodel with html anchor

I have a view for a blog post that return a view model with the post and the comments, and an anchor point at the end of the page where the comment form is.

After i submit the comment form, i want the POST method to return the View() but with the anchor point in the link

ie : www.blog.com/article/my-first-article#comments

right now i only have www.blog.com/article/my-first-article and in order to view the Validation Errors you must scroll down to the comment.

Any Ideas?

Thanks, Alex

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(ArticleWithCommentsViewModel vm)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var newComm = new comment();
            newComm.Name = vm.Name;
            newComm.Email = vm.Email;
            newComm.CreatedDate = DateTime.Now;
            newComm.Comm = vm.Comment;
            newComm.ArticleID = vm.ArticleToComment;

            _db.comments.InsertOnSubmit(newComm);
            _db.SubmitChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Article");
        }

        ArticleWithCommentsViewModel vm2 = new ArticleWithCommentsViewModel();
        vm2.TheArticle = _db.Articles.ToList().Single(x => x.ArticleID == vm.ArticleToComment);
        vm2.comments = _db.comments.ToList().Where(x => x.ArticleID == vm.ArticleToComment);

        return View(vm2);
    }

Think might be a little low tech but it might work:

return Redirect("www.blog.com/article/my-first-article#comments");
