SIR: Solidarity rally taken out in Vijayapura
They gathered at Dr. Ambedkar Circle and shouted slogans against the BJP-led Union government for ‘trying to repress all pro-people protests by force’.
Various organisations in Vijayapura organised a solidarity rally on Sunday (October 11) to stand in support of anti-SIR protesters facing police action and arrests in New Delhi. The gathering took place at Dr. Ambedkar Circle, where attendees chanted slogans against the BJP-led Union government for attempting to suppress all people's protests through force.
Bhagwan Reddy, SUCI (C) district secretary, explained that the Delhi protests were initiated by multiple organisations for a just cause: safeguarding constitutional values. He emphasized that the protests were not exclusive to any political party, ideology, caste, or religion; instead, they aimed to remain peaceful and not disrupt law and order. However, Bhagwan highlighted that the police resorted to repressive measures against the protesters.
CPI(M) leader Bhimray Pujari asserted that the Union government was resorting to unprecedented lengths to protect CEC Gyanesh Kumar, who had made unconstitutional decisions concerning SIR. Abdul Quadeer, representing Eddelu Karnataka, labelled the NDA government as running an autocratic and fascist regime by manipulating constitutional provisions.
Several activists, including Surekha Rajput, Sunanda Nayak, Sidramayya Hiremath, Fayaz Kaladagi, Shivabalamma Kondaguli, Shivaranjiji, Suvarna Halagarni, and others, participated in the rally, expressing their solidarity with the protesters facing repercussions in New Delhi.
