Mangalore, May 6: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s dummy statue was burnt by the Karnataka Dalita Sangharsha Samiti (DSS) on Tuesday May 6. The protest was held on the account of Baba Ramdev’s recent remarks against Dalit women with reference to Congress national vice-president Rahul Gandhi. The protest was held in front of the DC’s office here and protesters also demanded his arrest.
Prof Umesh Chandra, addressing the protest, said, “Ramdev had come to Mangalore a few years ago for a yoga programme. He fooled people with his words. He considers women as an object of lust. The remarks he made on Dalit women shows his cheap mentality.”
“Baba Ramdev always talks about black money, but has never spoken about his own assets. The government should make a thorough investigation into his assets,” he added.
The DSS submitted a memorandum demanding Ramdev’s arrest to the chief minister through the DC.
District head of DSS Chandu L Belthangady, state organizing secretary Rohith L, Sundar Master and others were present during the protest.
