Activists of Dalit Sangharsha Samiti staged a protest outside Deputy Commissioner’s office condemning reported assault on Anandaraj Ambedkar, grandson of B.R. Ambedkar in Maharashtra recently.
The functionaries came in a procession from Nachiketa Nilaya and conducted a sit-in protest outside the DC office.
“If this is the fate of the grandson of architect of the Constitution and Republican Sena Party president, what would be the condition of common Dalits in the country?”, the protesters asked.
They charged the private education mafia in Maharashtra for the assault on Anandaraj. He was attacked when he went to protest collection of donation from Dalit students by a private college.
“Supporters of a local Shivasena MLA also took part in the assault along with the college management members”, they alleged.
The protesters urged the authorities to arrest the culprits and conduct a thorough probe in to the incident.
DSS district convener Rajkumar, general secretary Ravishankar participated.
