Chandrasekhar to lead rally against Centre

By Our Special Correspondent

GANDHINAGAR, SEPT. 2.

The rally beginning from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad on Gandhi Jayanti Day, on October 2, is likely to be the first public outcry against the decade-old globalisation policy which was further ``deepening'' the economic divide between the haves and havenots in the country. A meeting for launching, what the organisers called the ``political war for economic freedom,'' was held here this week attended by Mr. Chandrasekhar.
