Members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) staged a violent protest at the official residence of Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Tanveer Sait here on Saturday morning. The protesters accused the government of permitting new English medium schools to function, apart from alleging mismanagement of Right to Education (RTE).
The protesters raised slogans against Mr. Sait for neglecting Kannada medium schools and children admitted under the RTE quota. They created a ruckus by smashing flower pots, window panes and damaging the gate.
The High Grounds police rushed to the spot and 21 protesters were detained.
