The protest march from Mandi House culminated at the Food Corporation of India office in Connaught Place where senior leaders Prakash Karat (CPI-M), G Sudhakar Reddy and D Raja (CPI) , Debabrata Biswas and G Devarajan (Forward Bloc) and Abani Roy (RSP).
Addressing the protesters, the leaders said the Food Security Bill pending before Parliament was not acceptable to them in the present form.
"It needs to be suitably amended. The government should give up categorisation of APL and BPL. It should not try to push the cash transfer scheme instead of providing foodgrains," the leaders said.
