Dalit and progressive organisations have planned a massive rally in Kalaburagi on January 31 to condemn the removal of a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar from the dais during the 73rd Republic Day celebrations in the premises of the district court on Raichur, and demand legal action against Principal District and Sessions Judge Mallikarjun Gouda, who had allegedly got the portrait removed before hoisting the national flag.
