The National Ahinda Organisation, a non-political social movement that aims to ensure social justice for Karnataka's minorities and backward classes, has decided to hold a march in support of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on October 3.
The body has vowed to support 'Ahinda leader' Siddaramaiah in relation to the corruption allegations against him and requested the Congress leader not to resign as Karnataka Chief Minister.
"The National Ahinda Organisation will launch a constitutional awareness march from Hubballi to Bengaluru, to save our Ahinda leader (Siddaramaiah). All organisation leaders from backward classes, Dalits and Ahindas will
take part in this protest. We will spread awareness amongst Ahindas, while backing Siddaramaiah, he must not resign at any cost, and he has our support", Ahinda state president Muttanna Shivalli said.
Siddaramaiah is the face and a strategist of the Ahinda movement, which stands for Alpasankhyataru (minorities), Hindulidavaru (backward classes), and Dalitaru (dalits).
Earlier on Thursday, the BJP staged a protest and demanded Siddaramaiah resign as Chief Minister a day after a Special Court in Karnataka ordered a Lokayukta police investigation against him in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam case.
