Mangaluru: Now Thokkottu flyover, Nehru Maidan ‘renamed’, Bajrang Dal graffiti appears again


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (SHP)

Mangaluru, Jun 3: Earlier on Tuesday, a banner of ‘Veer Savarkar flyover’ had appeared on Pumpwell flyover along with Bajrang Dal graffiti. Now, a banner reading ‘Rani Abbakka flyover’ has appeared on Thokkottu flyover. Further, a similar graffiti with Bajrang Dal written across the sidewalls has also been observed. It is said that this action was reportedly acknowledged by the organisation on social media as well.

In the post alleged to be put by Bajrang Dal, the organistaion has claimed that the memory of many freedom fighters who have sacrificed themselves for the country's independence just exist in memories. The organisation maintained that the next generation of independent fighters will be remembered for their sacrifice and for the same reason, the city's main roads will be named after them.

"You will come in darkness and steal, but the name of the patriots is eternal,” it was said in the alleged post. 

In addition to the banners on flyovers, a ‘Koti Chennayya Central Maidan’ banner was observed at Nehru Maidan in the city.

    One must try to understand or know the history before pronouncing the name of anybody with the freedom fighters.

    Let us not forget during WW II 1942 Netaji was trying to build Indian Nation Army to secure the freedom from British rule. INA’s assault on British forces was launched in October the following year.
    But unfortunately, the British Army managed to defeat Bose’s INA and subsequent public trials of INA officers at the Red Fort is still a memory.

    During this time on the contrary British Commander-in-Chief “expressed his grateful appreciation of the lead given by Barrister Savarkar in exhorting the Hindus to join the forces of the land to defend India from enemy attacks.”

    Why rename a place and confuse people? Spend time and energy in creating in something better for the society. People wont forget the original names or its glory for decades even if they change the name. For example Flora Fountain in Bombay was officially renamed Hutatma Chowk in 1960. Crawford Market changed to Phule-Market and so on... How many of us refer to the new names today?

    Hello Bajarang Dal,

    You have time to put all these banners and write graffiti on the walls and destroy the beauty of the city. But you don't have time to feed the migrants who have taken shelter in Christian/Hindu/Muslim institutions/halls/schools. Do some charity and earn some 'punya' before you leave this world. Life is short. Anytime we may leave this world. Think about this and do good.

    where a whopping 24 acres and 18 cents, belonging to an altruistic Mangalorean Konkani Catholic family, in the year 1907, was vested in the Mangalore Municipal Corporation with the condition that the Nehru Maidan should ONLY be used for SPORTS and RECREATION purpose for the children and the general public of Mangaluru and not for any other events, which is being totally misused presently!!!

    Former Prime Minister Nehru is 'Kashmir Pandit' which the RSS and its militant organisation hates. If Nehuru not negotiated with British strategically important land in Punjab would have been parted from India to Pakistan making difficult for supply lines for the military movement.

    He and his team were the architects who laid the foundations of modern India. At the time of independence, India was a miserably poor country with over 80% of the people struggling for two meals a day. The average life span of an Indian was 31 years. Think about that - 31 years was a ripe old age to die. That was the average, the median age was much lower.

    He built the IITs, IIMs, and AIIMS for top level higher education, and thousand of primary, secondary and higher secondary schools. We today stand with proud chests for having these, as graduates from these places are at the cutting edge of technology & management world wide.

    In other hand Savarka who called himself 'veer' is the key conspirator of Mahatam Gandhi assassination.
    The BJP claim to stand for the ideals of Gandhi but take no action against Sadhvi Pragya for referring to his murderer as a “patriot”. The Bajrang Dal which worship 'Bharat Mata' now openly praises Gandhi's assassins.
    The militant organisation claims to be 'patriot' but praise the murders of father of nation.
    Jai Hind

    @SMR,

    You say "Nehru and his team were the architects who laid the foundations of modern India", what a Joke,

    After Independence "Nehru by deceit and his relations with the British rulers & Gandhis help he became PM, Majority had voted for Sardar Patel. "

    Do you know how many crores congress spent on Nehru centenary ?.

    For your Information ,

    IIT -- Plans for IIT was started by before independence , & the first was setup on the land of detention center in Khargapur, Act was passed by congress govt.

    AIIMS - First AIIMS was establish in 1956 remaining 13 after 2013 ( Dont give entire credit to Nehru)

    IIM - Was done by a specific Planning commission.

    Understand how Nehru's relationship was with British, Like a steward to the extent of lighting a cigarette for the British.

    You write "The militant organisation claims to be 'patriot' "... Che Che Shame on you , Entire WORLD knows people from your community are the Majority Militants & terrorists in the world.

    Lastly Please stop writing "Jai Hind", Does not suit you.
