BENGALURU: In a move that is likely to resonate with the Congress party’s leadership among the Dalit community, the party national leader and former AICC president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday met the Dalit family which was fined Rs 60,000 for touching a village deity in Malur taluk of Kolar.
The family was invited to participate in the rally and meet Rahul Gandhi. According to those who were present at the meeting with the family, Rahul assured the family of the Congress party extending their full support to them and that their only saviour was the constitution which forms the bulwark of the country’s secularism.
