Mangaluru, Dec 10: United Muslim Organisation, Dakshina Kannada, has said that it would neither support nor participate in the 'Walk for Harmony' by Congress scheduled to be held from Farangipet to Mani on December 12.
District in-charge minister Ramanath Rai is going to lead the rally. Actor Prakash Rai (Raj) who has been vocal over various issues against the central government, is also expected to participate.
In a press note, United Muslim Organization DK president and former mayor K Ashraf said, "There have been frequent attacks on minorities across Dakshina Kannada district, but neither the district administration, the government nor the two ministers from this district have been been able to provide justice to them. They have failed to solve the problems and issues facing the minorities in the district."

Giving example of the alleged disrespect shown to the Quran by police during a raid on an accused in the Sharath Madivala murder case, Ashraf said, "Though the United Muslim Organization raised a strong voice and held protests demanding action against the culprits, no action has been taken in the case so far."
"Hence, we have decided to boycott the forthcoming 'Walk for Harmony' on December 12 from Farangipete to Mani," Ashraf said.
