Jammu: Various organisations on Friday held
demonstrations here in support of social activist Anna
Hazare's movement against corruption.
Raising slogans in favour of the Lokpal Bill and state
Accountability Commission and Vigilance Commission, over 300
students of Jammu University held demonstration at the campus.
They also took out a march at the campus in support of
Hazare, whose fast-unto-death entered the fourth day today.
