Anna Hazaare to visit Odisha on Nov 30

BHUBANESWAR: Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazaare would visit the State on November 30 to attend a farmers’ meet in Jagatsinghpur, said the members of Annaji’s Co-ordination Committee of India Against Corruption (IAC) here on Saturday.

Briefing the mediapersons at a Press conference here, Central executive body member Akshaya Kumar, who is in-charge of Odisha and West Bengal, said that Anna would address the people of the State to participate in their movement against corruption and to change the present system of the country which failed to deal with the issues of the common people. The coordination committee would start its works after organising its IAC members and Anna supporters in the State, he added.

Kumar said the fight for Jan Lokpal Bill would continue across the country in an energetic way. “To reform the present system, people’s movement is very important and we are going to organise our all the IAC members and Anna supporters to start our nationwide movement,” said Kumar.

The coordination committee would hold a meeting on November 26 on the eve of Anna’s visit to begin the organisational works in the State, IAC activist Bansidhar Patnaik and Seshadev Nanda said.
