Rai to lead ‘harmony walk’ sans BJP, SDPI on Dec 12 in ‘communal hub’

B Ramanath Rai, Minister for Forest, Ecology, Environment and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge will lead a 'Samarasyada Nadige' (harmony march) on December 12 from Farangipete to Mani in Bantwal taluk in Dakshina Kannada district to create awareness against communal forces.

The move comes at a time when it has been more than three months since peace has been restored in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada, which was witness to communal flare ups in the months of July and August.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Wednesday, Mr Rai said that the walk would be apolitical in nature. All outfits and organisations, except the BJP and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), would be welcome to take part in it, he said.

He went on to call Dakshina Kannada district a hub of communal forces. "It hurts me to acknowledge that Dakshina Kannada has become a hub for communal forces," he said.

The minister had made a similar announcement a few months ago when tension had escalated following stone pelting during the funeral procession of the slain RSS worker Sharath Madivala in Bantwal.

While the walk was scheduled to take off on September 12, Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy had stalled it citing the prevalence of prohibitory orders. The government had also refused permission for the BJP's 'Mangaluru Chalo' bike rally.

"As the walk was cancelled last time around owing to prohibitory orders, it has been decided to resume it now," he said. Interestingly, Rai chose an apolitical programme to air his views on the "volatility" in Dakshina Kannada.

Rai was participating in an interaction session with children of forest dwellers, organised by the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

Dear Mr. Rai, with due respect, you and your party before flagging off the rally must answer the following questions to the general public!

1) you and your party won many times and even ruled undivided DK District but, why have you failed to controll the RSS and its hate campaign aginst a particular community???

 

2) During the last assemble election you have made public that once you got elected, you will send prabahkar bhat to jail! what action have you taken??

3) your own party worker late mr. Jaleel karopadi murdered by RSS Goons, what action and  justice you have done to his father? who openly cried for justice and in anger he critisized you for failing to provide him justice!

4) under your constituency there were many muslim leaders and activists murder happend were were you that time?

5) the national tragedy of Babri masjid was demolished under congress rule and your national leadership maintained the soft hindutva, why have your party failed to protect it ..?

6) your national leadership had once said we will give justice to muslim community, and will rebuild babri masjid, being in a power for more than 10 years  why your party couldnt provide the justice to the victims??? 7) your party have appointed the sri krishna commission! what action your party implimented against the hindutva brigade?? 

 

8) you and your party claims that, we are the protector of minority community! what protection you and your party provided for indian muslims?? since 70 years they have been looted, burnt alive, raped,tortured, made refugees, made scape-goat as terrors, etc etc ???

during all those time indian muslims dedicated their trust on all the so called secular partys, but all of them ditched to the community and maintained soft hindutva!

The anger, Disappointment, Frustration, and the Thawakkul on allah made to born SDPI on indian soil..!! that is the reality, that nobody cannot deny!!

Your Failure is SDPI's Stength, and SDPI's Success is indian oppressed community's success..!!
