The campaign has the support of many civil society groups.

“We have began our protest at Jantar Mantar to reassert the immediate enactment of a comprehensive and more inclusive National Food Security Act, and also against the the UID (Unique Identification card)-driven cash transfer programme,” Farah Zia of advocacy group CFAR told IANS.

The protesters also want an universal Public Distribution System linked to the government’s Integrated Child Development Scheme.
