Massive Protest in Support of Bengaluru South Sub-Divisional Officer Apoorva Bidari

Bengaluru, July 7:
The Anekal Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Youth Association (R), State Committee, has announced a massive protest to be held on July 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM in Freedom Park, Bengaluru, in support of Bengaluru South Sub-Divisional Officer Apoorva Bidari, urging authorities not to transfer her from her current post.

In a press conference held at the Press Club of Bengaluru, the association strongly condemned the baseless allegations leveled against Officer Bidari by certain Dalit organizations, calling the campaign a regressive and gender-biased move that undermines the values of equality and justice enshrined in the Constitution by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
The Association pointed out that in a society that has historically marginalized women through practices like child marriage, devadasi system, and gender-based discrimination, Dr. Ambedkar championed equal rights for women—be it in education, property, or suffrage. Today, Indian women are making strides in social, economic, political, and scientific fields. Yet, some vested interests are trying to push women back into obscurity through false accusations and political pressure.
“Apoorva Bidari, a competent and committed officer who has risen through the ranks due to her merit and dedication, is being unfairly targeted. The demand for her transfer is not only unjust but also a direct affront to the ideals of gender justice,” said Dr. M. Krishnappa, Founder and State President of the Association. Women’s State President Renuka V. Bommasandra also emphasized that such actions discourage women from taking up leadership roles in civil services.
The protest aims to gather support from Dalit, pro-Kannada, women’s rights, farmers’, laborers’, and student organizations, and the general public to send a strong message against the misuse of social justice platforms for personal or political agendas.
The Association demanded that Officer Apoorva Bidari be allowed to continue in her current position for at least two more years, respecting public sentiment and her constitutional rights.
The organizers have called upon all progressive and justice-loving citizens to join the protest and stand in solidarity with a woman officer facing unwarranted persecution.
