Union Minister Ramdas Athawale condemned the incident where the candidates for the post of Police Constable were labelled with their respective castes on their chest in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar and termed it an insult to the SC/ST community.
"Such an incident is an insult to SC/ ST. Appropriate action should be taken against officials responsible for it," said Athawale.
