Women protest against injustice towards Koli community in Bagdana Dham

Local women and small traders have staged a protest amidst allegations of injustice being meted out to the Koli community at the Bagdana Guru Ashram in Bhavnagar district. According to a report by Sandesh, a significant meeting of the Koli community held at the ashram discussed the continuous injustice being faced by the community members. Community leaders stated that the Koli community was deliberately neglected during the celebrations of Bapa's anniversary, which has sparked widespread resentment within the community.

In this dispute, women and small traders have alleged that their rights to conduct business within the ashram premises are being snatched away. Furthermore, serious protests have been raised against Yogesh Sagar, a BJP MLA from Mumbai's Kandivali West and a trustee of the ashram. Protesters claim that Yogesh Sagar is exerting dominance in the ashram despite not being an authorised trustee. Leaders of the Koli community and local residents are awaiting an official clarification from the ashram trust regarding this matter.

Bagdana Dham is a renowned Guru Ashram located in Bhavnagar district, considered a symbol of faith.
