Mangaluru, Aug 22: Cow vigilantes of coastal Karnataka, who apparently vow allegiance to Sangh Parivar, are receiving funds from some builders and NRIs, according to an Aam Aadmi Party leader.

cowvigilante“These gau rakshaks getting money from some prominent NRIs and builders for their activities,” Rohan M Siri, Dakshina Kannada district secretary in-charge of AAP.

The comment comes days after BJP worker Praveen Poojary was hacked to death by a group of Hindutva activists for allegedly involving in illegal cow transportation in Udupi district.

Mr Rohan also slammed Karnataka's ruling Congress for failing to curb cow vigilantism, immoral policing and communal clashes in coastal belt even three years after coming to power.

Even though there is no authorized cattle protection force in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts, activists of Hindutva groups like Vishva Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal, Hindu Jagarana Vedike and Sri Ram Sena often turn cow vigilantes and attack those who transport cows. Sometimes habitual offenders resort to cow vigilantism for the sake of money.

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
