Members of Belagavi Brahmin Samaj took out a protest rally in Belagavi on Thursday against the remarks made by Janata Dal(S) H.D. Kumaraswamy against the community.
Protestors gathered at the Rani Parvati Devi Circle in South Belagavi, holding placards and images of the Janata Dal(S) leader. They raised slogans against him and condemned his statement.

BJP leader R.S. Mutalik, Belagavi City Corporation member Vani Vilas Joshi and community leaders like A.K. Hungund, M.R. Hegde, Srinivas Joshi, Venkatesh Kulkarni and others were present.
