Mangalore : The district units JD (S) along with CPI (M), and CPI parties jointly organized a protest to criticize the central government for its failure to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill and to support for Anna Hazare’s anti corruption movement  protest in front of the DC’s office on August 23, Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, JDS district secretary MG Hegde, said that even the youths from  upper class have now expressed their support for Anna Hazare and his anti corruption movement.
