brijesh Addressing a press meet, Dakshina Kannada BJP unit general secretary Capt Brijesh Chowta said that the vehicle carrying the body of RSS worker Sharath, who succumbed to injuries, passed peacefully till Kaikamba in BC Road.

“Miscreants from different community pelted stones at the funeral procession at Kaikamba. Unfortunately police arrested some innocents,” he claimed.

He charged that the money raised through illegal cow transportation, sand and drug mafia, is used for funding such illegal activities in the district.

Chowta demanded the resignation of District In-Charge Minister B Ramanath Rai for failing to discharge his responsibility and thus, help in restoring peace in the region. The minister and Congress MLAs should stop interfering in the police department’s affairs and give the police free hand to maintain law and order, he said.

He accused Rai of backing SDPI, PFI and KFD to disrupt peace and urged the government to take measures to ban those organisations. In fact, the Congress-led government is withdrawing all criminal cases against SDPI, PFI and KFD and has given them a boost to take up such untoward incidents in the district, Chowta charged.
