			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Under the inspiring leadership of our Managing Director, Mr. Arif Vakil, Team Vakil<br />
participated in the protest to express solidarity for the People Against Corruption<br />
Movement.</p>
<p>This historic moment witnessed unprecedented support from people of all walks of life<br />
and protestors gathered peacefully at the Freedom Park. The atmosphere was one of hope<br />
and expectation that the Jan Lokpal Bill would soon be a reality.</p>
<p>In Support of Anna Hazare for Jan Lokpal bill thousands turned up at<br />
Freedom Park, Bangalore on 8-Apr evening. People came up with different placards,<br />
banners, posters to show how much they hate corruption. All must have been the<br />
sufferers of corruption in their lives.</p>
<p>The protest at Freedom Park has attracted people from all walks of life — young college<br />
students to senior citizens, professionals to non-activists. Prominent among those who<br />
expressed solidarity are freedom fighter H.S. Doreswamy, Jnanpith awardee U.R.<br />
Ananthamurthy, writer G.K. Govind Rao, film director Nagathihalli Chandrashekar and<br />
actors Upendra and Pooja Gandhi.<br />
All of them had one demand: implementation of the Jan Lokpal Bill. Protesters demanded<br />
that civil society members be included in the committee to frame the Jan Lokpal Bill that<br />
will help tackle corruption.</p>
<p>This is a second independent struggle for the people supporting India Against Corruption.<br />
With the Anna Hazare phenomenon spreading like wildfire, workers and students took<br />
their time off to express solidarity. Volunteers at Freedom Park were seen holding<br />
placards that read “Say NO to Corruption”. Several others were wearing T-shirts with<br />
slogans that read “Root out Corruption from India! We&#8217;ve had enough”.</p>
<p>Here are a few photos of the protest.</p>
