JUSTICE FOR KILLING DABHOLKAR, PANSARE AND KALBURGI! It was a silent march by participants at the Abhivyakti Dakshinayan Rashtriya Parishad’s ‘Sankalp Yatra’ from Ravindra Bhavan to Lohia Maidan in Margao on November 18, 2016. The march was part of a three-day meet of discussions, talks, cultural programmes attended by over 900 delegates committed to defending freedom of speech. (Pic by Tara Narayan)
