LIVE: Anna Hazare at Jantar Mantar:Three years after India Against Corruption (IAC) imploded and the Aam Aadmi Party was born, its activist core minus the saffron periphery have launched what is arguably the largest movement against the NDA government over the land acquisition ordinance.

About 5,000 farmers from across India descended on the dirt tracks of Palwal, Haryana, in a sea of green and white flags on Friday. Over the next four days, they will walk to Jantar Mantar in the national capital to assert their right over the land that is their livelihood. Flagged off by social activist Anna Hazare, the march under the banner of P V Rajagopal’s Ekta Parishad saw the likes of Medha Patkar, Dr Sunilam and RSS idealogue K N Govindacharya walk some distance with the farmers.

Though there were no overtly political banners or individuals, most opposition parties are likely to unite in Parliament against the government on the land acquisition ordinance.
