Pune: In a unique symbolism, a statue of
R K Laxman's famous 'Common Man' here was garlanded Saturday to
celebrate the success of hunger strike undertaken by Anna
Hazare over Lokpal Bill issue.
A life-size statue of the Common Man stands in the
premises of Symbiosis college here.
It became a rallying point for the activists celebrating
after Hazare ended the fast in New Delhi.
Crackers were burst in front of the Pune Municipal
Corporation (PMC).
Last night, a candle-light march had been organized to
express solidarity with Hazare.
