1. Activists to lay siege to Central University of Karnataka in Kalaburagi condemning saffronisation of campus
Under the banner of Komuvada Alisi – Kendriya Vishvavidyalaya Ulisi Andolana (Eliminate Communalism – Save Central University Movement), several Dalit, progressive, left and democratic organisations have planned to lay siege to the Central University of Karnataka (CUK) in Kalaburagi on October 11, condemning what is termed as saffronisation of university campus.
D.G. Sagar, a Dalit leader and the president of the campaign, said that over 5,000 people would take out a procession from Kadaganchi village to the CUK campus to protest against the efforts of CUK Vice-Chancellor Battu Satyanarayana, faculty member Basavaraj Donur and others who were “promoting right-wing communalism in the campus and suppressing Dalit and progressive students by implicating them in false police cases.”
