There were at least 200 people present. 15 from my office accompanied me.
Yes, we needed and intended to get national media publicity. Don't you
agree?
The timing ensured one needed to leave one's workplace only an hour early in
order to participate.
We missed you at the protest march. I hope you will join in next time and
help swell the numbers.

Dear Bhaskar, Nilesh etc.
It seems that like you not many people bothered to attend. There were only
about 30 (and this is optimistic) people present.
The motives (getting national media publicity) of the organisers was
revealed by the fact that the site of the rally is a 2 minute walk from
India's Fleet Street (BSZ Marg) and the timing (6: PM) just in time for the
national edition.
Even that perennial favourite of all the RTI misusers (NDTV) gave the rally
scant coverage. 'Justice for Jethwa' is simply not as sexy today as 'Justice
for Jessica'
