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.
29-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.
