Bengaluru, Oct 19: Nandini M, a city-based software engineer, who prefers to be identified as an “animal rights activist” hit the headlines earlier this week after she was allegedly attacked by a mob under the limits of Talaghattapura police station.

The woman had claimed that she was attacked and her car was damaged by a mob after she lodged a formal complaint with the jurisdictional police against the illegal slaughter of cattle at Avalahalli near Talaghattapura.

According to her, two police constables aslo had accompanied her to the spot but they ran away when the mob attacked her. In her second complaint, she went on to claim that the mob raised pro-Pakistan slogans.

The woman gained popularity overnight thanks to the media and saffron forces that not only glorified her but also seized the opportunity to target the state government for failing to curb illegal cattle slaughter.

However, the police later clarified that there was no connection between the alleged attack on Nandini and her fight against the cattle slaughter.

DCP (south) SD Sharanappa was quoted by the report as saying that the police had immediately acted on the complaint filed by Nandini and stopped the illegal slaughter of cattle. The police arrested three people for allegedly slaughtering cows under the cow protection law and rescued some cattle.

However, without trusting the police, Nandini went the lane to personally inspect whether they acted on her complaint. A few people pelted stones at her car for causing accident. The police have also detained seven persons for allegedly pelting stones.

Narrating the sequence of events Bengaluru police commissioner T Sunil Kumar said that Nandini and her two woman assistants had lodged a complaint about cows being illegally slaughtered at Talaghattapura on October 14.

Kumar said Nandini also visited the spot even though police had asked her not to go there when police raided the abattoir.

The police officer said that Nandini’s car had allegedly dashed against an auto-rickshaw and also a petty shop in the area, which irked the residents. The violence was because of the accident. Some of the miscreants pelted stones at Nandini’s car for her rash driving.

On the other hand the local residents, who witnessed the incident, have rubbished the allegation of raising pro-Pakistan slogans as a blatant lie.

Mumbai, Feb 5: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said there was no need to fear the Citizenship Amendment Act, but asserted his government will not allow the proposed National Register of Citizens to be implemented as it would "impact people of all religions".

Throwing out Bangladeshi and Pakistani migrants out of the country was an old demand of the Shiv Sena, the chief minister said in the third and concluding part of his interview to party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

"I can confidentally say the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) is not meant to throw Indian citizens out of the country. But, the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is going to impact Hindus as well," the Sena president said.

India has the right to know the number of minorities from neighbouring nations who applied for Indian citizenship after being persecuted in their home countries, he said.

"When they come here, will they get homes under the 'Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana'? What about employment and education of their children? All these issues are important and we have the right to know," hesaid in the interview to Saamana's executive editor and Sena MP Sanjay Raut.

"As chief minister, I should know where will these people be relocated in my state. Our own people don't have adequate housing. Will these people go to Delhi, Bengaluru or Kashmir, since Article 370 is now scrapped?" he wondered.

Several Kashmiri Pandit families are staying like refugees in their own country. The CAA is not to throw citizens out of the country, Thackeray said.

"However, the NRC will impact Hindus and Muslims and the state government will not allow it to be implemented," he asserted.

Under the NRC, all citizens will have to prove their citizenship. In Assam, 19 lakh people could not prove their citizenship. Of these, 14 lakh are Hindus, Thackeray claimed.

In a veiled attack on his cousin and MNS chief Raj Thackeray, who will lead a rally in support of the CAA and NRC in Mumbai on February 9, the chief minister said the NRC is not yet a reality and there is no need for a 'morcha' in support of or against it.

"If the NRC is enforced, those who are supporting it will also be affected," he said.

Under the NRC, even Hindus will have to prove their citizenship. "I will not allow the law to be enacted. Whether I am chief minister or not, I will not allow injustice to anybody," he said.

The chief minister also took a veiled dig at the Centre's decision to give the Padma Shri award to Pakistani-origin musician Adnan Sami.

"A migrant is a migrant. You can't honour him with the Padma award. Throwing out illegal migrants was the stand of (late Shiv Sena supremo) Balasaheb Thackeray," he said without naming anyone.
