Moodbidri, Jan 3: A huge protest was organized on Thursday January 2 afternoon in the ground behind JD(S) office in the town under the aegis of Constitution Protection Committee. The committee has termed central government initiatives like Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Population Register (NPR), and National Register of Citizens (NRC) as constitutional and has been seeking their withdrawal.

The protesters who came together near Jamma Masjid here, arrived at the venue of the meeting duly holding tricolour flags and shouting slogans.

Thinker Mahendra Kumar, addressing the protesters, accused some Hindu organizations of covering up real issues and inciting Hindus to revolt against the Muslims. He said that this is causing the problems now, and demanded disbursement of suitable compensations to families of people who died in police firing.

MLC Ivan D'Souza, urged the centre to withdraw these acts which are against the basic tenets of the constitution.

Dinesh Hegde Ulepady, chief priest of the mosque here, Musafa Yamani. Samastha Kerala Sunni Students Federation Dakshina Kannada district president, Qasim Darimi, A K Ashraf, priest of the church here, Fr Paul Sequeira, C H Gafoor, Shivanand Pandru, Abdul Rahiman, Usman Soorinje, Parker Sharif Saheb, Abulal Puthige, Usman Todar as well as Rafiq Hudavi from Kolar participated.

    Playing into the hands of Pakistan. If Ivan D'Souza and other Congress leaders are convinced the CAA and NPR are unconstitutional despite being passed by Parliament, why don't they challenge the laws in the Supreme Court on an urgent basis rather than create or foster unrest and violence in the country. Are they holding back because it is politically not in their interest?
