During the Bharat Bandh in Uttar Pradesh’s Deoria district over reservation, hundreds of BSP and Bhim Army workers came out on the streets and started creating a ruckus and entered the market and started forcing the shops to close. After the disturbance in the city for about three hours, SP Sankalp Sharma himself came out on the streets and took charge and started using lathi, only then the protesters ran away. The video of the SP running on the streets and chasing away the rioters is going viral.
On the call of Bharat Bandh, all the organizations were to gather at Subhash Chowk in Deoria on 21st August and protest peacefully and reach the Collectorate and submit a memorandum against the classification in reservation, but this did not happen. BSP and Bhim Army workers from all over the city gathered at Subhash Chowk and raised slogans. After blocking the road, they dispersed into small groups and started forcibly closing shops. Instead of going to the Collectorate, they reached Rudrapur turn of the city creating a ruckus. After this, the patience of the police broke and then SP Sankalp Sharma himself came on the road and took charge. After watching his video, everyone is praising him.
Let us tell you that 21 organizations across the country had called for a Bharat Bandh on Wednesday against the Supreme Court’s August 1 decision on the SC-ST reservation issue. The organizations opposed this decision and said that this will harm the basic principles of reservation.
Dalit and tribal organizations called for a ‘Bharat Bandh’ on August 21 to demand strong representation and protection for marginalized communities. The National Confederation of Dalit and Adivasi Organizations (NACDAOR) released a list of demands including justice and equality for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC). Many political parties including SP, BSP are also involved in this protest.
