Minister for Health and Family Welfare K. Sudhakar was welcomed with a black flag protest by Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) activists during his visit to Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubballi on Tuesday.
The activists were upset reportedly because of a statement by Dr. Sudhakar regarding vedike president Narayana Gowda.
After the Minister’s arrival on the KIMS premises, the activists staged a sit-in in front of Dr. Sudhakar’s car and sought his apology.
They also entered into an altercation with the Minister and demanded that he apologise for the statement against their vedike president.
A few of them even lay down on the road and sought an apology.
Ultimately, the police had to forcebily evict them from the premises.
