Udupi, Feb 26: After a truck driver was attacked and thrashed by a few youngsters for allegedly not allowing enough space for their vehicles to overtake, hundreds of youngsters gathered together and mobbed Padubidri police station on Saturday, February 25 night. The young men demanded the arrest of the attackers.

A Hassan-based youth, identified as Bhaskar, was driving the truck loaded with food items involved with line sales. The truck was intercepted near a prayer centre at Mudarangady near here by people travelling in another vehicle. The five men who got down from the vehicle, accused the driver of not allowing their vehicle to overtake the truck, before raining expletives on him and beating him up. In this incident, Bhaskar sustained injuries to his head. He stands admitted into the hospital. Shankar, who was with Bhaskar, also sustained injuries. 

On this occasion, another group of youngsters objected to this behaviour, it is said. Although an effort to end the dispute through mediation by local gram panchayat president, David, was made, hundreds of youth gathered after the news of the attack spread far and wide. The youngsters laid siege to Padubidri police station and demanded the arrest of the culprits.

As the police did not meet this demand till night, the protest continued late into the night. On this occasion, Kaup police circle inspector, Halamurthy Rao and the protestors exchanged heated words. The youth numbering about 150, were led by Hindu Jagran Vedike. The group, at one stage, objected to capturing of the proceedings by media persons.

    Of course they are doing it with the help of bottled spirit. Jobless goondas. Police should take strict action against these jobless, lazy trouble makers.

    Looking at the mob, I feel the trouble making group has imported jobless youths. This mob can not be Kannadigas. They are 'annaadigas'.

    it is not that supporters of Modi are fools. and that they support him because of their foolishness. No the bhakts are made with a lot of hard work. There is a long process to make bhakts. There is a whole political scripture to make bhakts, There is math of political gains behin the creation of Bhakts.

    Hitler also made bhakts when hitler killed more than 10 million people his supporters were cheering him. Hitler had instilled in the mind of his supporters that the jews were taking over their jobs, Jews are the reason for all their problems, if Jews are killed all problems will be solved, after that Hitler killed more than 10 million people including the aged, women and children which included six million Jews and five million others.

    Let us talk about india now, long before independence the RSS had started the work of spreading hatred aganist muslim, christians and dalits. Upper castes, which have always enjoyed power & money were the founders of RSS their objective was to retain their hold on money and power even after independence.

    The tasks of creating bhakts in the last four generations finally reached a level where they could take control of the government, Bhakt is alwyas filled with two emotions hatred for muslims & chiristians and fear of muslims and the most forceful expression of fear and hatred aganist muslims are the riots aganist them, riots are the lifeline of this fear & hatred, if there is no riots for a long time, this fear and hatred would vanish this is the reason why RSS executes riots every now & then.

    An artifical, charismatic leader like modi is created so that the masses remain devoted in blind support while the economy and the regime of the country is taken over and when the nation is being flayed the blind bhakts do not object at all filed with hatred and fear, bhakts consider Modi a God only because modi killed over 2000 muslims and made it clear for the muslims that Hindus are not scared. Bhakts believe that modi has got back the lost

    Sri, Anyways Muslims cannot be accommodated in Pakistan or for the matter any other countries because they have their own problems to sort it out. Fortunately Indian Muslims will continue to live in India if you like it or not.

    Request you to recommend the Govt to have a list of do's & Don'ts for Muslims so you don't have any problems.

    @Jamal - why do you expect government to gives do/don't list? Why there is no minimum tolerance seen in your youth? Is that because of your people head count high in that point of incident?

    Jamal,
    Where he mentioned about Indian Muslims? Why do you ask him about dos and don't s. Are you not a citizen of India? Are you living forcefully here? Disclose your problems, simply don't accuse others. We all are living together like a family and never had any issue of religion. How come you face descrimination?

    Thanks Anand for writing "We all are living together like a family and never had any issue of religion". Keep the spirit and request all to follow the same. There could be no better place to live if people of all faiths follow the same. But sorry, the above incident was not the same as preached. I don't have to elaborate.

    Protest should not be taken place just because victim belong to their political party or their community. Protest should be for right reason and should not be biased.
