Into its ninth day, the agitation launched by Gandhian Anna Hazare, continues to draw supoort in several measures.
The Karve Road Merchants' Association will take out a rally on Thursday to express support to the Jan Lokpal bill. A statement issued by executive president Ajit Sangle said that the merchants will gather at Nalstop chowk at 3.30 pm and walk to Balgandharva chowk where activists of India Against Corruption have been staging an agitation since last week.
The Nagrik Chetna Manch has organised a lecture on Jan Lokpal bill by Abhay Firodia, chairman of Force Motors on August 31 at Poona Club. "The lecture will be followed by interaction with Firodia who has had a very long association with Anna Hazare," a statement said.
The Rashtriya Dalit Congress expressed its support on Wednesday. Kishor Shinde, secretary of the organisation, said, "A section of people have been misleading the Dalits by claiming that Hazare was out to change the Constitution whose architect is Babasaheb Ambedkar. There is no substance in the allegation and Dalits would do well to remember that corruption has been hampering the progress of the country and Hazare's Lokpal bill is based on the Constitution."
