UP: 50 Dalits tonsure heads to protest against Yogi government's inaction

About 50 members of Dalit Panther tonsured their heads in Kanpur on Wednesday, to protest against spurt in crime against Dalits under Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh.

Led by its President Dhaniram Panther, members held a demonstration at Shikshak Park in Kanpur on Monday. They were protesting against atrocities being committed against Dalits, backwards and Muslims across state.

“The law and order is at its lowest in Uttar Pradesh. Fake cases are being slapped on Dalits in Saharanpur and other places. The ploy of the BJP-RSS is to establish an upper caste monarchy by suspending the rule of law,” Dhaniram said.
