Speaking to reporters after a UDF leaders meeting here, Front Convener P P Thankachan said the Front as part of its agitation against the government's 'lapses', would hold a dharna in front of the Secretariat on August 4.
All UDF MLAs would participate in the dharna and a meeting of Front leaders scheduled that day would chalk out further agitations programmes.
"We are not demanding resignation of the government. But they should rectify the mistakes," Thankachan said.
