IAC volunteers meet to discuss further action on corruption in Bangalore

India Against Corruption (IAC) volunteers met at Freedom Park on Sunday to discuss their future plan of action to eradicate corruption.

About 175 IAC volunteers, including 50 to 60 students, gathered at the venue and discussed various options before them.

Prithvi Reddy, IAC volunteer and founder of Corruption Saaku, told DNA that the volunteers contemplated forming small groups in various localities of the city.

These groups would be involved in drawing up a citizen’s charter and engage the local government bodies in eradicating corruption.

“We all understand the need to look into how the urban poor and rural Karnataka can be helped by our anti-corruption endeavours. We have to sustain the movement through smaller initiatives in localities. The focus will be on intervening in the system and giving the urban poor and rural citizens a voice,” Reddy explained.
He also said it might take another two or three weeks to chalk out a clear cut-course of action.

Activists of India Against Corruption had managed to rope in hundreds of sympathisers to express their solidarity at Freedom Park with the anti-corruption movement led by social activist Anna Hazare.
