Anti-corruption baton rally reached St Joseph’s campus on Thursday. The baton has been going around different colleges in Bangalore to bring awareness about the escalating corruption in the state.
Azhar Khan, the Vice President of Centre for Social Concern (CSC) said, “We have witnessed enough of corruption. It is high time to eliminate corruption at all levels from local self-government to national level. We invite college students to participate in an anti corruption rally and send out a loud and clear message Saaku (Enough!).”
“We encourage students to take part in the protest, not to support corruption or indulge in bribery," said Lok Satta member Arvind Kejriwal, who is a coordinator for the event. He also pointed out the instance that a policeman had demanded Rs 500 to carry the banner ‘Saaku’ inside the Chinnaswamy stadium on December 7. “We should neither indulge in corruption nor give bribes,” he said.
Varun Jagannath, the co-ordinator of National Service Scheme (NSS), said, “We have to actively participate in this rally and protest against corruption.”
The final rally will be held on December 11, the World Anti-corruption Day. It begins at 9.30 a.m. from Kanteerava stadium and ends at Shanti Nagar grounds.
