by April 7, 2011 Civic

In Support of Chikka Bapu (Anna Hazare) for Jan Lokpal bill thousands turned up at Freedom Park, Bangalore on 8-Apr evening. All TV channels lined up to cover the hunger strike that is going on for past 4 days.

People came up with different placards, banners, posters to show how much they hate corruption. All must have been the sufferers of corruption in their lives.

I heard a story from the public at Freedom Park … one of the members factory was gutted in a fire when he is taking part in hunger strike at Freedom Park. Fire officials asked 20k for coffee and tiffen itseems from the member for registering an FIR. What a shame on these officials?
