Krishna Demands Action After Shoe Attack on CJI Gavai
Someone threw a shoe at the Chief Justice of India, who is a high-ranking judge.
Manda Krishna Madiga is upset because the police haven't arrested anyone or investigated the attack.
He thinks this is because the Chief Justice is Dalit, a group that has faced discrimination.
He questions why the authorities seem to be ignoring the attack, especially since the Chief Justice holds a very important position.
Krishna believes that if a Dalit Chief Justice isn't protected, other Dalits won't feel safe either.
He's starting a movement to protest and demand justice.
MRPS president Manda Krishna Madiga demands action against the attack on CJI Gavai.
