Ranchi: Participants of the Jayprakash Narayan movement in the 70s will observe a fast tomorrow in support of social activist Anna Hazare's fast-unto-death which entered the second day on Wednesday.

Pramod Mishra, co-convenor-cum-spokesman of the '74-Chetana Manch', a forum of the former activists of the JP movement, today said some of the manch members would observe the fast at Shahid Chowk here tomorrow in solidarity with Anna Hazare and his 'anti-corruption crusade'.

Mishra was active during the JP movement and had been arrested along with several others on July 8, 1975, for observing demonstration at JP's call. He was lodged in Chhapra Central Jail for six months during Emergency.

"We extend our support to Anna Hazare's fight against corruption," he said.

The 72-year-old Hazare is demanding enactment of the Lok Pal Bill to give wider powers to the ombudsman.

Enough is enough. On one side there are millions of Indian who do not get the opportunity to earn money for two times bread where as on other side these Politicians Officials nexus earn so much ill money as they find difficult hide it. If Government is clear in their heart then they should come out in support of Anna hazare movement. If they do so ,they will become hero and History will remember them .If they do not come to support then people revolution will up rot them and they they will be called villians and history will also rmember them.
