MANS to hold march to mark Dabholkar's death anniversary

PUNE: Members of the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti would gather at 7am on Saturday at the Vitthal Ramji Shinde bridge to condemn the killing of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar.
Dabholkar was shot dead by unidentified assailants on August 20, 2013, while he was on his morning walk on the bridge.
The CBI, which is investigating the case, is yet to make any progress in the investigations barring the arrest of Virendrasinh Tawde, an ENT doctor and member of Sanatan Sanstha, earlier in June this year.
Social leaders N D Patil, Baba Adhav, Nagraj Manjule, Ajit Abhyankar, Mukta Manohar, Prakash Ambedkar, Vidya Bal, Subhash Ware, Rajiya Patel and Shamshuddin Tamboli are expected to be at the gathering.
Inspirational songs written by Narendra Dabholkar are expected to be sung.
A protest march would be taken out at 10am from the bridge and will culminate at Sane Guruji memorial on Sinhagad Road, after passing through Shaniwarwada, Shivaji Road, Laxmi Road, Alka chowk, and Dandekar bridge.
