Several members of the BJP gathered outside the residence of Congress MP DK Suresh here on Sunday to protest his recent statement that southern states would be forced to demand a separate nation if the ‘injustice’ in the distribution of funds is not rectified by the Centre.
Protesters were heard shouting slogans ‘Vande Mataram’, ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, and ‘down D K Suresh’ outside his residence in Sadashivanagar here. However, the protesters were soon removed from the spot by the police and shifted into a bus, police said.
