Mangalore : The embers of Karnataka Dalita Sangharsha Samiti (DSS) staged a protest in front of DC Office on May 6, Tuesday condemning the recent remarks by yoga guru Baba Ramdev against Dalit women for Congress national vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Dalit colonies.
Addressing the protestors, Prof Umesh Chandra said that Baba Ramdev had paid his visit to city and fooled the people with his soft saintly words. But the recent statement which he gave against the Dalit women shows his cheap mentality. He proved that considers women as an object of lust and nothing beyond it.
He also said that, in every television interview he spoke on the black money, but nevr revealed about his own assets, hence government must conduct an investigation to know the property he owns.
The protestors submitted a memorandum to the chief minister through the DC urging to arrest him under IPC Section 354 for indecent representation of women, act of atrocity and sedition.
Later the protestors burnt Baba Ramdev’s effigy and demanded his arrest.
Congress member P V Mohan, District convener of DSS Chandu L Belthangady, state organizing secretary Rohith L, Sundar Master and others were present.
