MES observes black day in Belagavi
Assaults Kannada activist: Lathi charge
Belagavi, November 1: When the people have been celebrating the Kannada Rajyotsava across the state, MES workers have observed black day and conducted a rally against Karnataka in Belagavi on Thursday. When they tried to assault a Kannada activist who held a Kannada flag, police caned and dispersed them.
Hundreds of MES workers wearing black shirts participated in the rally at Shivaji Circle in the city. They demanded Belagavi should be included in Maharashtra and shouted anti-Kannada slogans against Kannada Rajyotsava celebrations.
Suddenly, a few MES workers, who were in the rally, pelted stones at people to disturb the peace. Though the police tried to pacify them, they continued to pelt stones. Later, the police caned them to disperse. Belagavi deputy mayor Madhushree Poojary was present at the rally.
