Mangaluru/Udupi, Mar 5: After BJP supremo Amit Shah’s visit to coastal Karnataka, the party leaders have intensified their Hindutva campaign in the region. The party’s Karnataka Suraksha Yatra, which entered Dakshina Kannada districton Sunday, has further energised the saffronists to up ante against the state government by portraying it as an anti-Hindu regime.

On Sunday rallies and public meetings were held in Sullia and Puttur, two sensitive areas of the coastal district as part of the state-wide Yatra entered.  The yatra started from Kushalnagar in Kodagu district on Saturday. It will reach B.C. Roadon Monday via Kalladka.

Addressing the rallies in Sullia and Puttur, Nalin Kumar Kateel, Member of Parliament, alleged that Hindus have no security under the Congress-led government in the State as it has failed to control the killings of Hindu youths.

He alleged that the State government has failed to control drug mafia, sand mafia and land mafia.

Pratap Simha, MP, Mysuru said that the yatra is being taken out for the protection of the life of Hindus.

He said that 23 Hindu activists have been murdered in the State under the Congress rule. Mr. Simha took objection to the government withdrawing criminal cases filed against the workers of the KFD.

Sanjeeva Matandoor, president, Dakshina Kannada unit of the BJP, and other leaders of the party were present.

Meanwhile, the yatra which began from Ankola on March 3 would enter Udupi district on Monday. Padayatra and public functions would be conducted in Byndoor, Kundapura and Udupi.
