Dalit organisations, JD(S) student wing stage protest against RSS camp in government school in Bidar

Condemning the organisation of a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) camp at the government-run Morarji Desai Residential School at Kamthana in Bidar district, activists associated with different Dalit organisations took out a protest march and staged a demonstration outside the office of the Deputy Commissioner in Bidar on Wednesday.

As the organisations had warned of intensified agitation a day before, heavy police force was deployed on the premises of the Deputy Commissioner’s office to avoid any untoward incidents. The agitating activists raised slogans against the RSS and the officers of Social Welfare Department and the principal of the school for allowing the camp.

Later, they submitted a memorandum to Additional Deputy Commissioner Shivakumar Sheelavanth and ended the protest. The Forum of Dalit Organisation, the common platform on which all the Dalit organisations came together for a common cause, submitted a memorandum to the office of the Deputy Commissioner on Monday also.
