2,000 strong crowd gathers at Jantar Mantar to support Anna Hazare - The Economic Times

2,000 strong crowd gathers at Jantar Mantar to support Anna Hazare - The Economic Times: "How much resonance has social activist Anna Hazare's demand for enacting a 'tough' anti-corruption law found resonance in the society? Quite a bit, it looks like.

As the septuagenarian activist's fast entered the third day on Thursday, a melange of people from different age groups and professions came to lend support. Jantar Mantar, the centre of the protest, was chock-a-block with a 2,000-strong crowd. Eight-year-olds to octogenarians waved placards and shouted slogans incessantly. 'The crowd has almost doubled from yesterday,' said a policeman on duty."
