Keragodu flag row: Protests held to condemn stone pelting on Kurubara Sangha hostel in Mandya

The Federation of Oppressed Communities held protests in Mysuru and Mandya on Tuesday, January 30, to condemn the alleged pelting of stones on Kurubara Sangha hostel in Mandya during the padayatra taken out by the BJP over the Keragodu flag row.

In Mysuru, a protest was held near the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Siddharthanagar, where activists from the federation, Kurubara Sangha, and other backward communities’ organisations gathered and shouted slogans to express their ire against the alleged stoning of the hostel and damage to a portrait of Kanakadasa.

D. Thimmaiah, MLC, M.K. Somashekar, former MLA, former President of Karnataka Pradesh Kurubara Sangha Subramanya and president of Backward Classes Awareness Forum K.S. Shivaram were among the protestors.
