'Govt unfair to dalits'

DSS district unit president Subramanya said: “ The government’s attitude towards the dalits and those belonging to lower castes should change for the better.”

As many as 100 members staged a walk from Town Hall to Mysore Bank Circle and burnt an effigy depicting the State government.

The Sangha also submitted a 14-point memorandum to the Governor, and the Social Welfare minister. The protesters demanded that the government stop acquiring agricultural land from poorer sections of society and return the land wrongly acquired for various development projects.

They also sought 25 per cent reservation of jobs in IT and BT companies for people from backward classes.
