Members of various progressive associations participated in the Pratirodha rally with the slogan ‘Save Democracy, End Fascism’ in Dharwad on Sunday.

Activists S.R. Hiremath, Siddanagouda Patil, Shankar Halagatti, and K. Neela, former MP I.G. Sanadi, writer Ku. Veerabhadrappa, journalist Dinesh Aminmattu, actor Prakash Raj and others joined the rally. It was held from the R.N. Shetty Stadium to Buddha Rakhita School, founded by Ramabai Ambedkar. Earlier, a bike rally was flagged off from the home of M.M. Kalaburagi, a slain intellectual, and ended at R.N. Shetty Stadium.

Members held placards and raised slogans that people of this country must unite and raise their voices to protect democracy, the Constitution, and freedom of expression.

The event began with a collective reading of the Preamble to the Constitution, affirming a pledge to uphold its ideals. At the subsequent gathering, leaders spoke on key issues, including the SIR process, democratic rights, freedom of expression, and resistance to fascist tendencies.
