Mangalore, Apr 4: "Go Go Rahul Go! Go Go Rahul Go!" - thus shouting slogans and showing black flags, the DYFI, SFI, and the Forum Against Atrocities on Women expressed their ire at the Congress party for not giving adequate security to women in the country.

The protest was held on Friday April 4 near the DC office, close to Nehru Maidan where AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi was about to address a rally.

Addressing the gathering, Fr Vinod Mascarenhas of Vimukthi Trust, Ujire, said, "Today we have all gathered here to let people know that there is no security for women. We hear lot of bad news these days. Will crimes against women ever stop? What are the politicians doing? Where are the police? They are not arresting the criminals. We have not come here to listen to any speech. Everyone should raise their voice against politicians."

Shahanaz of Forum Against Atrocities on Women said that the politicians need only power and that morale policing by Bajrang Dal and other outfits should stop.

Dayanand Shetty of DYFI said, "Moral policing is still going on in the district. We have see many instances of moral policing from several years, like pub attack, home stay attack and Deralakatte incident. There is no security for women, they are not safe; they cannot come out of their houses at night. They do not have freedom to move about without fear. Even corporator Prathibha Kulai was subjected to harassment, and people feel scared to go to those areas. Moral policing has been going on in the name of religion. Mangalore has become like Dandupalya.

"The government has failed to take action against criminals. Before coming to the power, Ramanath Rai had said that moral policing and other illegal activities will be stopped, but he has forgotten his promise," he added.

Muneer Katipalla of DYFI, social activist Vidya Dinkar, Nithin Kuthar of SFI, Kirana Prabha, B K Imthiaz and others were present during the protest.

When the protestors started to move towards Nehru Maidan where the Congress rally was going on, the police intervened and detained them. They were rounded up in vehicles and taken to the police station.

    suppose if the kiss of love held in mangalore then, I am sure to tell you all that these jobless people are not coming for to protest against it because they will not find anything wrong in it... and if any organization gone against to that program or attacked then these jobless will come for to protest against who they opposed/atacked that program. These people can called as mangalorean secularists.

    There are very few young women among these protesters. Why they have not been included in the protest ? Dont they require Security in Mangalore where moral policing is rampant particularly targeting young women ? Two very old women seen in Photo 7,8,13,14 were probably brought from old-age Home run by some Religious institutions without telling them what is the purpose of this Protest.

    A farmer committed suicide by taking poison Belagavi. The mindless and stupid CM says the farmer died because of excessive alcohol consumption. When entire state revolted against this BHRASHTA CM, he says his statement was manipulated. Ha Ha... he is best fit for doing comedy in streets.

Whenever DKeShi and other corrupt are given congress ticket, I have clearly condemned the move. Read my earlier messages. I don't have any party affiliations and time again I am repeating the same thing just the immature guys like you to understand. So, if DeKeShi or other corrupt are given tickets, BJP also should give tickets to Ramulu and Yeddy? BJP is party with difference right??

    Dear Surendra Poojari, People of Karnataka give an opportunity to both Congress and BJP. Everyone had a right to Question about their credibility, When we ask BJP they compare them self with Congress and When we ask Congress they talk about BJP.

    If some citizens protest against Rahul that's their right..

    We are the people who live in this state and we choose both BJP and Congress, we have a right to ask..Nobody can stop.

    Indeed the people in Mangalore and more particularly women are very conscious of the fact that moral policing had played havoc some time ago. However did these occurrences take place during the regime of The Congress Government in Karnataka?

    Having said this, it is clear that women have aired out their feelings to draw the attention of the politicians. It is pertinent to state that such demonstrations should also take place during the visits of other politicians like Modi so that politicians irrespective of the parties they stand for realize the gravity of the crimes perpetuated against people and more particularly women. India is a secular State and let people - men and women live in piece and harmony without fear of attacks from the so called Moral Police.

But in Mangalore or Karnataka after Congress came to power there are no attacks on women at Pubs, homestay etc., Dr.S.Kamath, hence please decide who should be elected Congress or any other fanatic party.

Come on From the time of Indira Gandhi Congress slogan is garibi hataho, where being in power they can't stop moral policing, their constitute does not have proper law for rapist. Just imagine they are in POWER from 60 years and they still question others, they need to take action. If you can't use your power give it to someone else who can. Busy in scam and making tonnes of money. Please be ready for another hike in taxes, how do you think they are going to recover the money spent on rallies. But still India is best.
