Even though the group is yet to meet and decide on a date he assured the public that the demonstration will come off in a different form and that the agreed date will be made known.
The CGRG on July 1, Republic Day organized the Occupy Flagstaff House demonstration that saw about 300 largely middle class defied a rainfall to march in protest of what they described as the worsening economic conditions of the country.
