Udupi, Aug 20: Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have completely disowned the cow vigilantes who lynched a BJP worker to death in Udupi district and claimed that they never encouraged violence.

vhp29-year-old Pravneen Poojary, a local BJP leader died at a hospital on August 17 within an hour after he was attacked by a group of group of miscreants who apparently owed allegiance to different Hindutva groups. The assailants claimed that he was transporting cows to a slaughterhouse.

Asked about the incident, Gopalji, South India organizing secretary of VHP, said that members of his organization don't resort to killing people. “The VHP and Bajrang Dal are in no way connected with the lynching incident in Udupi,” he said.

Jagadeesh Shenava, working president of the VHP in Mangaluru taluk, did not condemn the incident. “This should serve as a lesson to Hindus who sell cows," he said and added that he does not know the full details of what happened and why it happened.

Sunil VR, Bajrang Dal convener for Mangaluru, Udupi and Puttur, also said the attackers were not from his organization. "Our boys don't murder. We don't support such acts; we involve the law-and-order machinery when we come to know of such acts."

Police have arrested around 25 persons including a few senior members of HJV in connection with the incident. However, local residents claim that activists of VHP and Bajrang Dal also were part of the group of assailants.

Mangaluru, Jul 13: Air India Express flight brought around 170 passengers from Bahrain to Mangaluru under Vande Bharat Mission yesterday. 

This is the first VBM flight from Bahrain to Mangaluru. The flight took off from Bahrain at 10 am on Sunday and landed at Mangaluru International airport at 4.45 pm. 

Even though thousands of Indian expatriates from other gulf countries were brought to Mangaluru in past few weeks, no flight was arranged from Bahrain so far. Hence, several Mangalureans including senior citizens, women and patients were stranded in Bahrain for months together.

Local entrepreneur and president of Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Mohammed Mansoor, who saw the plight of the hapless Indian expatriates in Bahrain had discussions with the Indian embassy in Bahrain and convinced it to arrange a special Air India Express flight under the Vande Bharat Mission. 

IOC, along with the cooperation of ‘KHK Heroes’ had arranged meal kits for passengers during their flight to Mangaluru. IOC had also contacted all the Mangaluru-based NRIs who wanted to fly back to India and made a list with the help of Indian embassy to avoid any untoward incidents.

IOC had also given details of hotels to be quarantined in Mangaluru and Udupi, names of nodal officers to be contacted and emergency telephone numbers. The passengers were given a warm farewell by the office bearers of IOC from Bahrain international airport.

The effort taken by Mohammed Mansoor, president of IOC is lauded by all. All the passengers who travelled by the flight have thanked IOC and its office bearers whole heartedly.
