Protest rally against Jan Lokpal Bill on April 14 in Mumbai

Arguing that the very concept behind the proposed Jan Lokpal Bill goes against the constitution, a city based group has organised a protest rally on April 14, the birth Anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.

"The bill is against democracy and gives all rights of investigation, prosecution and punishment to the Lokpal. We are opposing the concept as it is against the Constitution of India," Raju Kuthavad, member of 'Sanvidhan Bachao Manch' said.

A rally by the group would start from August Kranti Maidan in the morning and will end at Chaitya Bhumi at Dadar.

"The Lokpal would be the ultimate authority if the bill is passed. He would be above Parliament and the Judiciary which challenges the basics of democracy," he said.
