Mangaluru: Protest against Rai - VHP, BD block road; Sharan Pumpwell, others arrested


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SB)

Mangaluru, Jun 19: Activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal on Monday June 19 staged a brief road blockade at PVS circle here in protest against district in-charge Ramanath Rai for reportedly asking the police to arrest RSS leader Dr Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for the recent clashes in Kalladka.

The activists assembled at PVS circle and started shouting slogans and waving flags.

They alleged that Ramanath Rai was misusing his power as minister to get innoncents like Kalladka Bhat arrested.

They also demanded Rai's resignation and demanded that if he does not step down, the chief minister should sack him.

The police intervened as soon as the protest started and arrested the protestors in a matter of minutes.

Police thwarted the road blockade and ensured that traffic was not affected much.

VHP and Bajrang Dal leaders including Sharan Pumpwell, Bhujanga Kulal and others were arrested and taken away in police van.

The protest was organized without seeking permission from the police, and hence the protestors were arrested under the orders of the DCP, it is learnt.

Police have deployed security in the area.

    Look at Police actions as if they are asking VIPs to get up or supporting the needy who have fallen on road.

    Just look at the pictures of same police department few months ago when PFI members protested and how police had treated them.

    Double face of Police department is very well know, after all 70% carries in them the same ideology of RSS.

    Any country whose IB and Police Department are non neutral then such countries can never ever be peaceful.

    If a country has to witness peace, then Police Department should be truly honest and neutral and should support only truthful side. But unfortunately that will never be a reality and will remain a myth. Only those who truly fear God will walk into path of honesty in their duty.

They are here just to spoil the peace and harmony of the city. They are here to divide Hindus and Muslims in the name of Religion. Animals under the skin of Human Beings.

    Prashanth Poojary was lynched. Baliga was murdered. Churches were attacked. Yet the culprits have gone scot free. If all these were handled in accordance with law they would not have come to the streets now. Dear Rai, People of South Kanara are with you. They are fed up with these groups after those pub attacks and attacks on the young. For a free society kindly put all these guys behind bars. Follow the advice of Kumaraswamy and arrest Kalladka if found guilty.

    We have NIA to go behind any Muslims like Dr zakir naik.Even a rody rudresh of Bangalore murder case also handled by NIA. But for thogadia or kalladka bhat there was no police to even question them .Muslims have understood this mathematics but Mr rai luckily touch this aspect.His concern for social harmony must be supported by all of minorities. Democracy doesnt mean that its majoritarianism.

    For jobless goons police arrest is like receiving trophy for great achievements. Travelling in Police Van is joy ride. Last week when I was in Mangalore, I was looking for 2 laborers to clean my apartment. After exhaustive search, I found 2 and they charged Rs. 1,500.00 for 1 hour work. I was surprised to see the shortage of laborers in Mangalore. Now, after seeing above pictures, I know why there is labor shortage. Beley malpere thigale bagguji. All are getting free food, drinks and wages by their masters for disrupting peace in and around Mangalore and D.K. Why should they work ? It is sad to note the double standard of police department. These protesters did not take prior permission but no lathi charge. This proves either police dept. is incompetent or part of these goons. Irrespective of party affiliations, peace loving people should condemn double standard of protectors civilians and law of the land. Jai Hind. Jai Karnataka.

    BLOCKING THE ROAD FOR ANY REASONS IS OFFENCE.

    Well done protestators..belonged to various organisations.
    We do not need taleban rule in twin districts.
    Dr.Kalladka Bhat is having good reputation among all and are dedicated his service in the interest of society. We need such able leaders at large.
    Terrorists and anti nationals already entered from neighbouring states..which will turn to big risk in near future.
    We all stand with you doctor saab and protestors.
    We know very well Mr.Rai and Bhat will call latter and enquire.about one another's well being.

    These are the kind of things that have decreased the inflow of students to schools and colleges in Dakshina Kannada from outside, these are the things that have always discourgaed big business houses to come down to Mangalore as a result most of our youngsters go out seeking jobs unable to get a proper job here. Till jobless people like these exist Mangalore will always remain an isolated well. Median people Please do not give any encouragement by giving them coverages, they will vanish after half an hour when they realise no one cares for all these dramas.

    secondly they were not asked to release of any criminal they protest because of police inhuman act.
