MYSORE: The series of protests in the city in support of Anna Hazare continued on Sunday, but students gave it a miss. It was freedom fighters who stole the show staging the dharna to register their protest against corruption and called for a mechanism to fight it effectively.
Members of the Mysore City and District Freedom Fighters Association partook in the agitation and favoured the draft of Jan Lokpal bill. Reciting bhajans, the freedom fighters extended their moral support to Anna's fight.
As the agitation entered the sixth day in a row, members of Rock Vrunda, a local band made up of students from engineering colleges, belted out patriotic songs. Except for students of the Government Maharaja's Sanskrit college, there were not many students who joined the dharna. Later, in the evening, medicos from Mysore Medical College and Research Institute took out a candlelight procession from J K Grounds to the Gandhi Square. Earlier, some 50 doctors attached to the Indian Medical Association staged a protest.
