At the instance of anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare to prevail upon all MPs to support the Jan Lokpal Bill, agitators here, under the banner of District Co-ordination Committee, Kalhandi, took out a procession from Gandhi Chowk up to the residence of Kalahandi MP Bhakta Charan Das and appealed for his active support for introduction and smooth passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill in the current session of the Parliament.

Although the MP was away in Delhi to attend the Parliament session, a memorandum was submitted to one of his associates, Niranjan Pradhan.

The memorandum said Das is a committed leader of the people of Kalahandi and he could raise himself above party line, extending his support to the movement to root out corruption from the country.
