Yuva Shakti Dal holds demonstration against atrocities on Dalits in Saharanpur

New Delhi, May 21: Yuva Shakti Dal, including the Bhim Army, held a mammoth demonstration at Jantar Mantar in the national capital today against the recent caste clashes in Saharanpur despite the Delhi Police denying permission.
Dalits and Thakurs came face to face during the birth anniversary celebrations of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar in Saharanpur leading to violence and unrest.
On the unfateful day, the Thakurs wanted to take out a musical procession honouring Maharana Pratap which was opposed by Dalits citing non-permission by higher authorities.
The Dalits were protesting the alleged razing and ransacking of their 25 houses and injury to15 members of their community in Saharanpur on May 5 by a mob of Thakur community.
Charging the Uttar Pradesh government with cheating the Dalits, the Dalit protestors today appealed to Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath to come clean and help them out in getting justice.
