Thiruvananthapuram: Rights activists, writers, artists and professionals from different walks in Kerala on Tuesday came out against the arrest of Anna Hazare and his close associates in New Delhi.
Activists under "Citizen's Forum" organised a fast in the state capital protesting Anna's arrest and pledging support to his struggle for probity in public life and an effective Jan Lokpal legislation.
Several youths, including IT professionals, gathered under the banner of "India Against Corruption" in Thiruvananthapuram in support of the anti-graft movement launched by the Gandhian.
"There is no justification for the arrest of Hazare. His campaign is not going to be suppressed through this undemocratic action. He is certain to gain massive support from all parts of the nation in the coming days," an activist said.
The student's outfit ABVP has given a call to boycott classes in protest against Anna's arrest.
