Mangalore: AAP volunteer's car with 60 caps, pamphlets seized at Talapady


Media Release

Mangalore, Apr 8: The Dakshina Kannada unit of Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday April 8 reported that the car belonging to Dr Mohammad Manseeb, an AAP volunteer was seized by the police at Talapady junction, because it had 60 caps, 50 pamphlets and an unused donation book in it.

Dr Manseeb's parents were returning home from Hosangadi, Manjeshwar. Party volunteers had to go pick them up and take them home since the police would not release the car. The car is currently at the Ullal police station.

"These (seized) items were left over from a previous evening's event and just happened to be in the car," said Dr Manseeb. "I am a practicing doctor and use the car to go to work. Taking my car away makes things extremely difficult for me to go about doing my work," he said.

"This amounts to uneccessary harrasment and thoughtlessness by the police. It is not like there were bundles of campaign material or cash in the vehicle. I wonder what the police will do if they catch me with my backpack with 100 caps and 100 pamplets riding my bicycle. Will they sieze my bicycle?" said Rajan Shastri, an AAP volunteer who rides his bike to the AAP Mangalore city office everyday. "Maybe I should register my bike as a campaign vehicle. I wonder how I can do that," he said.

"It looks like Aam Aadmi Party is being targeted for minor issues while other parties are let off. I am sure we too can get around this if we play their game. But that is exactly what we are fighting against. There needs to be some sensibility applied to such incidents rather than mindlessly taking action," said another volunteer who wished to remain anonymous.

    What is your view on "hand" all of us have. so the police should seize each of us? Same goes to "katti" and "broomstick" as well.

    If anyone grows the Lotus in their house garden, then the police will seize his house? I think Ullal police can. Shame on these Police.

    All the people under Ullal police station jurisdiction, please note

    Avoid broomimg your front yard in the morning using a BROOM.

    Make sure if you have pond in your property, no lotus grown is displayed.

    Cover your hands while you are in public places.

    ESKEY,

    Hat's Karnataka Police Constables wear now "Texas Cowboy Hat"...Late D Devraj Urs started this hat in 1974...may be he was watching too many "Cowboy" movies after drinking his Royal Salute whisky.

    Now if our Bhandumaam becomes AAP CM of Karnataka in 2018 ...I am sure he will change Police hats like AAP caps...that's why Ullal Police are obsessed with AAP caps...

    All religions teach that a good person or community will have to suffer before it could bring about genuine change. Unless a wheat of grain falls and dies it can not bear much fruit. Follow the leader AK in all this harassments and attacks. No violence, even in our thoughts for our enemies. Police is our own people, thay are the part of the society that the AAP determine to change.

    In Mangalore Cong is afraid of AAP. In Varanasi & Delhi BJP is afraid of AAP.
    Whatever it is, for the first time in the history of free India corrupt people are afraid of someone.
    Otherwise, earlier it was - you are also corrupt I am also Corrupt. If you win you loot the country and we will close our eyes, and if we win we will loot the country and you close your eyes, Whoever wins let them loot the country - this was their understanding. Now, because of AAP things are changing slowly.

    Yesterday I was coming from Suratkal yesterday and at Kottar Chowki, I was stopped to check my car as my AAP Cap was kept facing the front. My car was so thoroughly searched and having found nothing I was let go. You are right, they are after small people leaving the big ones involved in poll violations.
