The rally has been organised to protest against the mob-lynchings witnessed at various parts of the country over the last few days. Besides politicians, leaders of labour unions and social workers, the activists that participated in the protest recently held at Bandra will also be part of the March.

According to the organisers, the walk of solidarity will speak against communalism, castiesm and fascism.
