Dalit Sangharsha Samithi regional convener N Veerabhadrayya has condemned Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Anantkumar Hegde's statement on barking dogs.
Briefing reporters he said, "the minister had compared Dalits to barking dogs. Union ministers should see all equally. He should not divide the society through provocative and controversial statements. The comparison has hurt the sentiments of the Dalits."
DSS district convener H L Diwakar flayed the ZP CEO who had allegedly slapped a technical assistant at Somwarpet. Action should be initiated against the CEO, he said.
