Mandya, Apr 17: Even though the Mandya district administration and police denied permission for bandh called by radical Hindutva groups in protest against an inter-religion wedding, anti-social elements made attempts to forcefully impose bandh and trigger violence in parts of the district on Saturday.

protestDistrict police have initiated a series of measures including arresting troublemakers ahead of the grand wedding ceremony of Shakeel Ahmed and Ashita alias Shaista Sultan on Sunday.

After BJP, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) launched protests against paediatrician H.V. Narendra Babu's daughter's marriage with businessman Mr. Shakeel, the Swabhimani Vokkaligara Sene (SVS) too opposed the marriage. SVS' view is that the alliance would be an insult to the Vokkaliga community, which the girl belongs to, as she was marrying a Muslim boy.

Despite the bandh and protests, Dr Babu, the bride's father, said they had made up their minds, and there was no turning back now. The two families have known each other for several years. Ashitha and Shakeel completed their masters in business administration in Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, Mandya tahsildar Maruti Prasanna said he would issue a show-cause notice to those who staged protests against the marriage. The police have decided to continue armed security at the residence of Dr Babu.

Goondas should be treated in their own language. These trouble makers should be in jail for longer time. Police should treat goondagiri in harsh way and none shuld be allowed to disturb peace. BJP is trying to hard the situation for their political benefit. Shame on you karnataka people for supporting such goonda party.

Hubballi, Jan 6: Elected representatives of the BJP, Congress and JD(S) on Sunday decided to sink their differences and fight unitedly for Karnataka’s rightful share in the Mahadayi and Kalasa-Banduri water dispute with Goa.

The meeting convened by JD(S) MLC Basavaraj Horatti here saw participation of BJP ministers Prahlad Joshi and Jagadish Shettar, Congress and JD(S) lawmakers, among others.

After a 70-minute closed door meeting, MLC Horatti told reporters that they discussed the water dispute in detail and decided to take steps based on inputs from legal and technical experts on the rightful apportioning of water. “Today, we took the first big step towards the overall development of the region, unencumbered by political divisions,” he said.

Though the air was filled with a sense of jubilation as the issue had united seemingly hostile political parties on one side, a few activists expressed disappointment that the meeting failed to set a timeline to resolve the dispute.
