Mangaluru, Feb 24: Holding saffron flags around one thousand people took to the streets in Manglauru on Friday endorsing the protest call given by Sangh Parivar to oppose the city visit of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who is supposed to address a communal harmony rally organized by the Left parties at Nehru Maidan, here, on Saturday.

Today’s protest rally from Dr B R Ambedkar Circle to Nehru Maidan was jointly organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishat, Bajrang Dal, Hindu Jagarana Vedike and Sri Rama Sene with the backing of Dakshina Kannada district unit of the Bharatiya Janta Party.

Udupi MP Shobha Karandlaje, former minister Krishna J Palemar and several leaders from Kerala BJP also took part in the rally. Speaking on the occasion, Zonal working presidet of Vishwa Hindu Parishad M P Puranik, accused Vijayan of presiding over political violence and murders in Kerala after taking over as chief minister.

“It is the responsibility of a CM to protect the interest of the people of the State. However, Vijayan has endorsed violence and resorted to avenge the political opponents after coming to power. He misused the power and eliminated those who came his way,” he alleged.

Kerala BJP leader and astrologer Ravish Tanthri said: “It is an irony that Vijayan, who heads a party that is engaged in killings and violence, is scheduled to a deliver talk on communal harmony.”

Clarifying that the Sangh Parivar did not give call for a bandh on Saturday, Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell said that the Hindutva outfits have requested people of the district to participate voluntarily in the ‘hartal’ opposing killings and violence by left parties in Kerala.

“We have requested all educational institutions, bus owners, auto rickshaw owners, drivers, hotel owners, workers, students and office-goers to participate in the hartal," Sharan said.
