Offering support to the Gandhian fighter, people from different walks of life gathered and staged a sit-in at the Martyrs Column in the heart of the state capital Thiruvananthapuram and protested Hazare's detention. The state that is almost nearing the golden mark of being 100 percent literate, saw a relay fast and a march by IT professionals in Kochi protesting against the arrest of Anna Hazare. The group of IT professionals took out a march from the Infopark to Collectorate shouting slogans against the government action. The protests also saw active participation of many organizations like Ernakulam Merchants union, Kerala Madhya Nirodhana samithi, Pravasi Rajasthani Sangh, Raj Purohit samaj etc. Veteran Marxist leader and relentless anti-corruption fighter V.S. Achuthanandan voiced his full support to Anna Hazare?s struggle for a strong Lokpal bill. Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had staged protests across the state condemning detention of Hazare. There were also many other protests and allegations that saw people including writers, rights activists, artists and professionals coming together in large numbers to stand for Anna Hazare's noble cause.
