Mangalore, December 1: Progressive organisations in the district on Wednesday staged a protest in front of the office of deputy commissioner condemning the assault on backward class leaders by the devotees at Kukke Subramanya temple.
The `fact finding' team of Karnataka State Hindulida Vargagala Jagrutha Vedike, consisting of its state president KS Shivaramu and Bangalore district president DR Vijayakumar, was attacked for voice against 'made-snana'.
The protesters said that the government cannot allow such practice though it is a matter of faith or belief as practices such as Bettale Seve, Ajalu and others were banned by the state.
The organizations which lodged the protest were DYFI, PUCL, Rationalists Association, Progressive Thinkers Forum, Dalit Hakkugala Samithi, among others.
