Karnataka:
Thousands of students skipped classes as they thronged Freedom Park in Bangalore in support of Anna Hazare, with former Supreme Court judge Santosh N. Hegde, also joining the dharna. Hegde, a member of the joint committee on drafting the Lokpal bill who till recently was Karnataka Lokyukta, threw his weight behind the protest for the second day as slogans of "Vande Mataram" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" constantly rent the air. "Anna is fighting for us. We are here to support him," several students said. Some had even taken permission from their school authorities to be part of the protest. Techies, NGOs and the elderly were seen lending support as the crowds swelled, with the protest appearing to gather further momentum. click here to read Anna's movement: What's your city doing?
