Bengaluru, Aug 19: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has slammed Sangh Parivar for encouraging cow vigilantism, which claimed a youth's life in Udupi two days ago.

cowsAsked about the murder of a BJP worker on Wednesday night by Hindutva activists for illegal cow transportation, the senior Congress leader said: "The BJP must answer why its workers were transporting cows illegally.”

He also said that it was the BJP which encouraged cow vigilantism in the state. “All these days, the BJP targeted Dalits and Muslims in the name of cow protection. Now a BJP worker was beaten for transporting cows," he said.

The Hindutva activists, who lynched BJP worker Praveen Poojary to death and brutally assaulted his aide Akshay Devadiga, claimed that they were transporting calves to a slaughterhouse.

Mr Parameshwara earlier said that prima facie cattle trade-related business dispute may be the reason behind the killing of the BJP worker.

"Many of the assailants have been arrested in connection with the incident. Police are suspecting some sort of a cattle trade-related business dispute," he said.

Parameshwara also expressed concern over repeated incidents relating to beef and cattle trade in Karnataka.

"We are vigilant; we will definitely try and maintain peace and order. I appeal to the people who are trying to create this kind of disturbance not to do this because we are a tolerant society and we should not create these kinds of issues," he said.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
