In a unique way to pledge their support for Anna Hazare's fight against corruption, more than 2,000 people including students and faculty members of India's noted management and engineering institutes such as Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) have formally endorsed an online petition. The petition seeks public support against graft and appeals people to skip one meal in a day till Anna continues with his fast.
Amid 2,084 signatures that were received on till late on Wednesday evening, there were few from IIT-K and IIM-L faculty members. Expressing his views, Deepak Gupta said: ``I don't agree with everything that Jan Lokpal Bill states but I truly like the concept which is super. If Parliament has been representing views of common man, there would have been no need of drafting such a Bill.'' Deepak signed the petition as an individual but he also happens to be a faculty at IIT-Kanpur. Supporting the Gandhian path, teacher fraternity at IIT-K will observe a day's fast on Thursday to express solidarity with Anna.
