Hundreds of Mumbaikars protested at the Azad Maidan in South Mumbai wearing Mahatma Gandhi caps embossed with the slogan, 'I am Anna Hazare' and white bands to spread the message 'Pehno Safed Patti, Karo Corruption Se Katti.'
As Anna Hazare's fast-unto-death entered its fourth day today, people from all walks of life, including students and senior citizens, did their bit towards mounting pressure on the government in support of the demand for a comprehensive Lokpal Bill to fight corruption.
Hundreds of Mumbaikars protested at the Azad Maidan in South Mumbai wearing Mahatma Gandhi caps embossed with the slogan, 'I am Anna Hazare' and white bands to spread the message 'Pehno Safed Patti, Karo Corruption Se Katti.'
"To eradicate corruption the people needed a focal point which Anna Hazare has provided us. We are not asking for removal of this government but changing the system," advertising Guru Bharat Dabholkar, who was at the Azad Maidan, said.
"As an advertisement personality I have suggested them to run a film on Anna providing insights of his life, causes he has supported. The logo on the batch be kept as - I am a proud Indian against corruption," Dabholkar said.
A Class IV student called Rohan Bansal may be too young to understand the issue of corruption but in his own little way he has pledged his support by drawing a painting of the social activist saying - 'I am against corruption'.
"I have been seeing on television and reading in newspaper about this protest. All I know is that an old uncle is fasting for corruption. He is following the steps of Gandhi...he is the modern version of Mahatma," Rohan said.
Veteran actor Vikram Ghokale, said, "In my own little way I am supporting the fight against corruption by doing the fast from 6 am to 6 pm. Being a public figure I am garnering support. It is surprising that lot of youth have come in."
