BENGALURU: The JDS will continue to protest against amendments to the Land Reforms Act, AMPC Act and Industrial Disputes Act, and will hold protests across all districts while following the guidelines on Covid-19 safety, said party supremo H D Deve Gowda.

Speaking after holding a meeting with party leaders, including district unit presidents via video conference on Monday, he said the district units will submit a memorandum to their respective Deputy Commissioners. A memorandum will also be submitted to the Chief Minister.

The JDS has recently launched protests against the amendments, which the party termed as anti-people. Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy and other leaders attended the virtual meeting.

On violence and arson in DJ Halli and KG Halli in Bengaluru, the former PM said inquiry must be conducted by a sitting High Court judge and innocent people should not be troubled.
