Bengaluru, Sep 9: Karnataka home minister Ramalinga Reddy on Friday September 8, said that he has requested the organisers to give up ‘Unity March’ scheduled under the leadership of Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Ramanath Rai.
“The government does not permit any campaign that disrupts peace. If at all it is held, the event should be held after including people from all sections in the society,” he said.
‘Unity March’ from Farangipet to Mani on September 12 aims at restoring peace and harmony in the district, organisers had claimed.
The request comes after ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally was held on September 7 in Mangaluru by BJP Yuva Morcha.
‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally was a major headache for administration though it ended without any untoward incident. Though permission was granted to hold the rally at Nehru Maidan, protesters gathered at Ambedkar circle and crossed barricades to march towards Nehru Maidan challenging the police. Hundreds of police personnel were deployed in Mangaluru and Dakshina Kannada district to control the situation.
