Large-scale marches would subsequently be organised in all districts, either to statues of Dr B R Ambedkar or Mahatma Gandhi or to the offices of district magistrates, Sinha said.
He said Article 326 of the Constitution would be read out publicly during the marches to create awareness about adult suffrage and voting rights.
