Delhi on Wednesday witnessed massive public support for Anna Hazare when thousands of people turned up for a protest march from India Gate to Parliament Street. Slogans against the government rent the air as citizens voiced their frustration with the level of corruption in the country. The crowd marched peacefully with placards and candles.

Members of Team Hazare and activists kept the groundswell's morale up with speeches.

Social activist Swami Agnivesh said, "The government thought by arresting Anna everything will come to an end, but they have fallen flat on their faces. They have brought the public together. It is an acheivement that the procession has taken place peacfully from India gate to Parliament Street. I would want you to continue this tomorrow as well. Our fight is not over, the government has to bow down to us."

Member of the joint drafting committee on lokpal and key Hazare aide Prashant Bhushan extolled the people's support for the jan lokpal cause. "You have come here to support Anna even though nobody called you here. Corruption is growing and we need a strong lokpal bill to curb it. The government's lokpal bill is only going to encourage it. They were not even transparent about the joint drafting committee's meetings. This is the government for you. They don't look into the interests of the common man, we need a charter for citizens that will keep a track of how much time work allotted to government officials is bee taken. If the public keeps standing up like this, the government will never be able to put anything wrong in front of us," he said.

Prominent social activist Medha Patkar said, "The public will not budge this time. There has been a lot of support from people all across India for Hazare and against corruption in the country.
