Despite tight security arrangements, members of Karnataka Rajya Talwar ST Horata Samiti waved black flags at Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Chowk in Kalaburagi on Saturday, September 17, 2022.
As Mr. Bommai arrived at the circle to garland the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, to begin his scheduled programmes in the city organised as part of the Kalyana Karnataka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, the activists emerged from the crowd and waved black flags demanding Scheduled Tribes tag to the Talwar community.
The police immediately rushed in and prevented the protesters from moving forward and facilitated the safe departure of the chief minister. The agitating activists were later detained and taken to the University police station.
