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.

Shivamogga, Jan 2: A large number of farmers who wanted to stage a demonstration against Prime Minister Narendra Modi protesting the non-implementation of the 'Swaminathan Report' were detained at Bengaluru, Tumakuru and Shivamogga, police said on Thursday.

According to police, the detentions have taken place in certain parts of Tumakuru, near Bengaluru as well as in Shivamogga.

As part of his two-day visit to Karnataka, Modi is scheduled to visit Tumakuru on Thursday to pay his obeisance to the departed seer of Siddaganga Math Shivakumara Swamiji and meet the present pontiff Siddalinga Mahaswamiji.

Later, he would address a mega public meeting where he will give away the Krishi Karman awards.

In the evening he will reach Bengaluru to visit the DRDO facility to dedicate five DRDO Young Scientists Laboratories to the nation.

Pressing implementation of the Swaminathan Report, which recommends a holistic national policy, the farmers under the leadership of Kodihalli Chandrashekar had planned to stage a demonstration at Tumakuru.

Before they could leave for Tumakuru, the police detained them.

According to Chandrashekar, the farmers have been arrested at Nelamangala, Herohalli near Magadi, Kunigal and Koratagere in Tumakuru district and Shivamogga.

Speaking to PTI, Chandrashekar said the BJP has betrayed farmers by not implementing the Swaminathan report.

"The BJP could implement all the agenda such as abrogation of Article 370, paving way for Ram Temple in Ayodhya and various other poll promises but it ignored its promise of implementing the Swaminathan report," the farmer leader said.

Chandrashekar also said he has been detained at a ground on Magadi Road along with two others while farmers who wanted to take part in the protest have been detained in different parts of the state.
