India's 2nd freedom struggle agnst corruption, Mumbai Motoroling

The frustrations of the `aam admi’ against corruption at every instance of existence is very much imminent from the uproar gathered around the anti corruption crusader Anna Hazare. The overwhelming support extended to the Gandhian from across the country and from NRI abroad emphasizes how important the issue had been for all of us. An event is to be held at Mumbai tomorrow marked as `India’s second freedom struggle’, in which various motorists are to take out a rally from Shivaji Park to Azad Maidan.

This rally, being billed by Hazare's India Against Corruption (IAC), organization rather combatively, as, 'The Final Assault', is a show of power and protest against a watered down version of the Lokpal Bill. Says an IAC spokesperson, "Nearly 2,500 vehicles -- cycles, bikes, super bikes, private cars, taxis, vans, buses, trucks, tempos, ambulances, school vans and school buses will move at 10.30 am on Sunday, December 11, 2011 from Shivaji Park to Azad Maidan to demand a strong, comprehensive and effective Lokpal bill."

The interesting aspect is the rally will have, participation from all walks of life and all types of vehicles are registering for the event. Never before has Mumbai seen such a large turnout from all sections of society, ordinary citizens ranging from school children to artists, from dabbawallas to super bikers, from luxury car owners to truck drivers, all will come together under the tricolour for India's second freedom struggle against corruption. Even school busses and Women cabs are also joining. Atleast this one rally will see people walk-in on their own, instead of the paid crowds.
