BSP activists today took out a protest march here to protest the two instances of Dalit murders in a week and burnt effigies of the Haryana and Union governments.
Led by party's leader Jarnail Nangal, the protesters began the march from Ambedkar Park in Hargobind Nagar to Rest House Chowk on National Highway-1 and burnt effigies of the Haryana and Union governments.
They then marched upto Tehsil complex and submitted a memorandum to Sub Divisional Magistrate Balbir Raj Singh in this regard.
They termed as "gruesome" the killing of a 15-year-old Dalit boy, accused of stealing a pigeon in Gohana, in police custody and the Faridabad incident in which two children of a Dalit family were burnt alive by members of an upper caste community.
