Mangalore, August 16: The arrest of Anna Hazare ahead of his indefinite fast in Delhi on Tuesday to protest a toothless anti-corruption bill approved by the cabinet, evoked several protests in the city of Mangalore too.

As soon as the news of Gandhian's detention began to spread, political parties and social organisations took to the streets in different part of this coastal city to vent their anger against Union Government and Delhi police, which detained Hazare at his residence in Mayur Vihar.

While some protesters burned the copies of Government's Lokpal Bill and effigies of the leaders of Union Government, others burned candles in the evening.

BJP Yuva Morcha and Mahila Morcha jointly staged a demonstration in the heart of the city. They burned copies of the Government's Lokpal Bill in front of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi situated in front of Town Hall.

The protesters shouted slogans against the Central government for what they called 'its corrupt policies'.

Srikara Prabhu, President, Mangalore City BJP criticised the central government for its drastic measures to silence the people fighting against corruption.

“Government can arrest one Anna. Because of his sacrifices thousands of Anna Hazares will surface all across the nation” he said adding that the Congress led government is against the people.

Kishore Kumar Shetty, President, Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha accused the government of dividing the people by employing cheap tricks to win over the vote bank. “We are ready to fight for our nation. We are ready to sacrifice our lives”, he claimed and promised to enter the “Jail Bharo” campaign.
