Youths gather at Gateway of India to support Anna Hazare

On the eve of the second meeting of the Joint Drafting Committee on Lokpal Bill in Delhi, thousands of Mumbaikars gathered at the Gateway of India to express their solidarity with social activist Anna Hazare against corruption.
       
The rally 'Youth Against Corruption' led by former IPS officer and prominent anti-corruption activist Kiran Bedi, shouted slogans demanding implementation of the anti-corruption bill at the earliest.
      
"Youth should lead the nation now. We are all behind Anna Hazare. Its time we unite against corruption," Bedi told reporters.
       
Protestors also included over 140 pilots of Air India. "We all are here in our individual capacity to support Hazare against corruption," captain Ritesh Mathankar said.
       
Bedi as part of the protest put a garland of slippers on a symbolic effigy of corruption. The joint drafting committee had on April 16 met in the national capital for the first time amid a controversy
over a CD allegedly involving eminent lawyer and the panel co-chairman, Shanti Bhushan.
