Mangalore, May 03, 2014: The DK District Committee of the Congress staged a demonstration in front of the DC office in the city on May 3, Saturday demanding stringent action against Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev for his derogatory remarks against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi. The protestors also burnt effigy of Baba Ramdev.
Congress leader Ivan D’Souza who addressed the protestors said Ramdev was not a Yoga Guru but a BJP man. He also charged the BJP of failing to respect Dalits and women. He said the country will be divided if at all the BJP came to power.
Already, the Konaje police, acting upon a complaint by social activist Lolaksha, have registered an FIR against Baba Ramdev under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and other sections of the IPC.
