Condemning the removal of a Ambedkar portrait from the dais during the 73rd Republic Day celebrations on the premises of the Raichur District Court here on Wednesday last and demanding legal action against the Principal District and Sessions Judge, activists from different Dalit and progressive organisations took out a rally and staged a protest in Kalaburagi on Monday.
Hundreds of activists participated in the protest march waving blue flags, carrying Ambedkar portraits and placards containing the Preamble of the Constitution and raising slogans against Principal District and Sessions Judge Mallikarjun Gouda, whom they held responsible for the incident.
