Himachal Pradesh:
A very strong protest took place in Shimla as the activist started to fast against the arrest of Anna. The indefinite hunger strike in Mandi town was very crucial as it was uncontrollable as they considered Anna?s arrest as regrettable and condemnable. As per the scheduled programme they started to fast in support of a strong Lokpal bill and since police arrested Anna, they decided to go as per previous plan. They were also ready for court arrest. More than 100 people gathered for the protest. A large number of residents gathered in this Himachal Pradesh capital, condemning the arrest of civil society activist Anna Hazare in New Delhi. The state unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) Tuesday gave a call for statewide protest Wednesday. Himachal Pradesh unit of Anti-terrorist Front and Shimla Bar Association today held protests in support of Anna Hazare here this morning.
