New Delhi, May 13: In probably first protest against Yogi Adityanath since he became Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in mid-March this year, people demonstrated at the Uttar Pradesh Bhawan here on Saturday shouting slogans against the Yogi government over the recent attacks on Dalit community in India’s largest state.

They were shouting slogans against the BJP government of the state over attacks on Dalits in Saharanpur district earlier this week.

“Many houses and shops have been burnt down by the dominant caste in the area. The BJP government, UP police and administration still have not taken any action,” alleged the protesters.

They demanded justice and proper compensation for the affected people.

Many students and student leaders from JNU had joined the protest.
