Inspired by Anna's agitation, few college students from Pink City are cycling to Delhi to 'enlighten' the people about the 'Jan Lokpal Bill'.
Chinmay Sharma (20), Mohit Singh (19) and John Dessa (21) are on way on their bicycle to join Anna Hazare's anti-corruption stir at Ramleela Maidan when TOI spoke to them at Statue circle on Thursday evening. On way they were to be joined by Tusshar at Transport Nagar.
To a query if it is too difficult to cover a distance of nearly 265 km on a bicycle, is it not too harsh, Chinmay, smiled and said, "An old man on fast for the past 10 days is facing more difficulties than that. I think every Indian youth should fight against corruption."
"Though I am not promising to change the system or society but through this bicycle ride I plan to make the people aware of the Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal Bill," Chinmay said.
Mohit said, "It is the right time to tell the world that youth of this country are not ignorant of the crisis we are facing."
Asked when they planned the venture, Mohit, said, "We have been doing things like going to Puskhar on a bicycle and had participated in a few rallies here. But, we thought of making our hobby more meaningful."
"Raaste mein logon ko Jan Lokpal batayenge (We will make people aware of Jan Lokpal on the road)," Mohit asserted.
"We will be reaching Delhi on Saturday noon. It has been planned that on the way to Delhi, at the halt stations we will interact with people varying from villagers to schoolchildren," John Dessa another member of the group said.
The four had never cycled such a long distance but were confident. "There are some people who have organised our accommodation, food and other necessities. Hopefully we will reach Delhi and meet Anna," John said.
