Anna Hazare flags off rally in Mumbai

August 09, 2011 16:28

In Mumbai today, Anna Hazare flagged off a rally ahead of his proposed hunger strike from August 16 to oppose the Lokpal Bill. The rally, which was flagged off from Swami Narayan temple in central Dadar (East) is to culminate at Azad Maidan.

Hazare will also address a gathering at the Azad Maidan later in the day. The much-debated Lokpal Bill, which aims to set up an anti-corruption watchdog in the country, was tabled in the Lok Sabha on August 4. Hazare claims that the anti-corruption legislation tabled in its present form in Parliament, would not be able to deal with corruption.
