Progressive outfits stage protest in Pune
A number of progressive outfits under the umbrella of the Bhima-Koregaon Shouryadin Prerna Abhiyan staged a protest near the Pune District Collectorate on Monday against the Narendra Modi-led BJP government over the ‘institutional murder’ of tribal rights activist Father Stan Swamy. The protestors demanded that all activists and intellectuals arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the Bhima-Koregaon case be released immediately. The protesters also demanded that the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) be repealed and the ‘real’ perpetrators behind the Bhima-Koregaon clashes — Hindutva leaders Milind Ekbote and Sambhaji Bhide ‘Guruji’ — be prosecuted.
