Shouting slogans against the government, the activists gathered at Jantar Mantar this morning. The protest was part of a nation-wide 'jail bharo' agitation announced by the four Left parties.

In a bid to intensify the anti-price rise movement, the CPI(M) has begun preliminary consultations with other secular opposition parties like the TDP, JD(U), SP, BSP and RJD, party sources said.

A national-level action call is expected when these talks are formalised, the sources said, adding a meeting of the outfits and the Left parties is likely to be held before the Budget Session of Parliament resumes on April 15.

CPI(M) has earlier announced that it plans to mobilise around 25 lakh people across the country for their 'Jail Bharo' agitation against price rise.
