Supporters of Anna begin dharna in capital


BHUBANESWAR: In spite of chilly weather and foggy condition in the capital, cheering supporters have started their four-day dharna here at the Lower PMG square on Tuesday supporting anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare’s on going fast in Mumbai opposing the weak Lokpal Bill tabled by the Government in the Loksabha even as the Lower house of the Parliament initiated a debate on the proposed law.
They also raised the same demands of Anna including CBI should come under the Lokpal, make the Citizen Charter Bill strong, to bring the Government servants under the purview of Lokpal and a free and neutral selection board to appoint Lokpal.
At the Lower PMG Dharna place, three stalls were allotted for the dharna. Stall 11 was allotted for Abhishek Joshi and Bhaskar Patnaik group, stall 1 for Malay Tripathy and his friends, stall 3 for Rabi Das and his friends. But the motto was same to oppose ‘weak’ Lokpal bill supporting Anna. The groups will continue the dharna till December 30.
While on December 31 and January 1, the supporters will organise ‘Jailbharo’ movement supporting Anna’s fight for the noble cause.
