Udupi, Jun 11: The district unit of the Karnataka Dalit Sangharsh
Samiti (Ambedkar-oriented) has announced that it would be staging a
statewide protest against the statement from Shri Pejavar Swamiji that
the recent embracing of Buddhism and 'Dhamma Deeksha' by 2,000 Dalits
here was a 'drama'.

District committee convener Hoovappa Master has condemned the reported
statement by the Swamiji that caste and untouchability were the soul
of Hindu faith and that Dalits' embracing Buddhism would ruin Hindu
faith.

The Samiti would stage a dharna in front of the deputy commissioner's
office on June 13.
