People from different walks of life have thronged to Delhi streets to extend their support to Hazare’s demands for the Jan Lokpal bill. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have been flooded with the messages on the issues raised by the Hazare team. Some of the recent hot trends in Twitter have been #isupportannahazare, #annahazare #kiranbedi #DelhiPolice #janlokpal.

Similarly, Facebook has a number of pages and groups in support of the movement. People have been using Facebook features such as “events” and “messages” to popularise the movement.
