Attack on Sambhaji Brigade leader: Protest held in Latur
The protest in Latur was organised at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk at 11am by outfits like Maratha Kranti Morcha, Sambhaji Brigade, Jijau Brigade, Maratha Seva Sangh, Vir Bhagat Singh Vidyarthi Parishad, Progressive Youth Federation, Swabhimani Muslim Organization etc.
Gaikwad was manhandled by activists of the Shiv Dharma Foundation on Sunday and ink was thrown him for his alleged remarks against Swami Samarth, a revered 19th century saint whose 'samadhi' is in Akkalkot.
Latur, Jul 14 (PTI) Several outfits held a protest in Latur on Monday against the attack on Sambhaji Brigade leader Pravin Gaikwad a day earlier in Akkalkot in Solapur district.
They said the assault was a conspiracy by communal forces against those propagating progressive thoughts.
They also questioned if the attackers are linked to the BJP, an allegation that the ruling party dismissed earlier in the day.
The protesters also sought the withdrawal of Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, which was recently passed by the assembly and council during the Monsoon Session, claiming it is meant to suppress the voices of intellectuals and those against the government. PTI COR BNM
