Mangalore: Ullal residents lambast political parties, decide to boycott polls

Mangalore, Apr 5: Launching an attack against political parties and the police for sensationalizing a small squabble that turned into clashes recently in Ullal, Jumma Masjid secretary Abdul Lateef on Saturday April 5 said voters from ward numbers 1, 2 and 4 will boycott the upcoming polls in a symbolic expression of anger against the political parties.

Addressing a meeting convened to discuss boycotting of the poll here, Lateef said the minster who hails from the region has failed to give justice to the innocents who were allegedly put behind the bars.

"Political parties have misused the incident for gaining mileage ahead of the elections. Innocent youths, women and children were made to suffer during the clashes. The police department used this incident to settle a personal grudge with the people of the vicinity," he alleged.

He further alleged that police intentionally booked many with false charges of attempts to rape, murder and rob. "The police even linked the youths with terrorist outfits and filed more than 10 cases against each person," he said.

Lateef said that the four ministers from the district, including U T Khadar who hails from Ullal, failed to give justice to the innocent people.

"When we appearled to the chief minister, he said that he was not informed about the incident by the ministers. We had urged the ministers to instruct the police to revoke false charges and warned them of boycotting the polls. It is unfortunate that the ministers have not shown any interest in protecting the innocents and even brushed aside our warning saying that whether to vote or not was left to us. Do we need such people to represent us?" he said.

"Hence people of Mukkacheri, Hileriyanagara, KC Road have decided to boycott the elections," he declared.

Ismail Kotepura, a student pursuing BBM from an open university said that he was preparing to write IAS exam, but because of the cases registered against him by the police, he was unable to pursue his dream.

    Dear friends,
    While it is understandable that your requests have not been met by your political leaders, which now has become very common. Leaders promise and forget and this should not deter your sacred right to vote. If you are serious about setting things right then vote for a party with a clean record and give them a chance rather than voting for the traditional parties. Do not limit your choices to the devil and the deep sea and also please remember do not waste your vote.

    Mr. Vittal Muniyal Poojary,

    In last MP Election many people voted for Nalin Kumar Shetty. But his contribution to Mangalore and Muniyal is NIL. This time why should vote for Nalin and who told you Modi will become the Prime Minister of India ? It is your Imagination or Frustration ?

    Come-on folks, How long you would be a puppet of INC. We already have SDPI and AAP as alternatives. Let us build SDPI strong. INC needs only votes and it is not giving due representation as per our numbers. Two seats out of 28? Don't you think we need minimum 5 out of 28? Let us build SDPI and at least by 2019 we would win a minimum of 5 seats from Karnataka! Let us try SDPI from Mlore.

    I have spoken with most of these people and all of them are interested in AAP ideology. May be some of them could vote for AAP.

    Dear All
    this what should happen by all villages,if ministers,MLA's and MP's and Govt officials not doing their work propery we have to protest and do not allow them to come to your villages and allow them to make useless speeches
    this is for all parties
    but boycotting election is not the solution,pl vot for Mr.Nalin kumar and give your demands,if he fails to meet then protest,this time he can do something for you as Mr.Modi will become PM and In gujarath most of the muslims are voting to BJP
    I am very sorry to not that one person can not appear for IAS,plase somebody can intervene with state govt and resolve the issue,Mr Kader is busy with Mr.Poojary for nothing

    The brain behind this protest is a real entrepreneur. There are fixed rates even for sneezing during election time. This is the good strategy by the party who benefit from this boycott.

    Why boycott polls. Today you have alternative to congress and bjp. So vote for AAP and see the difference. It is season of Mangoes (AAM) which is the king of fruit. It is season of election and AAP is king of this election. So vote for AAP. Think Wise and elect wise. Dont' waste your vote

    No one is happy with this BHRASHTA, KOMUVAADI Govt.

    Ullal Violence was the pre-planned incident by wealth minister of karanataka. He thought it would benefit him in the lokasabhe election, but ultimately it boomeranged him.

    Please arrest the real criminals and release innocent people who are in Ballary jail.
