District Dalit Organisations Forum condemned the insult done to the Deputy Commissioner Amlan Aditya Biswas by Byadgi MLA Nehru Olekar.
The forum members who staged a protest here on Wednesday said that Mr Biswas was appreciated by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy for working hard for the development of the district.
Humiliating such an officer by Mr Olekar was unfair and the MLA should openly apologise for his mistake. Otherwise the agitation would be intensified if he failed to do so.
The protest was led by leaders D S Malagi, S G Honnappanavar.
