Madikeri, Sep 12: On the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, a group of cow vigilantes belonging to saffron outfits, shot at a a pickup vehicle transporting cattle, and brutally assaulted two persons at Kaggodlu near Madikeri in Kodagu district.

fireThe victims are vehicle driver Abdul Salam (40) and P A Basheer (35), residents of Kondangeri in Madikeri taluk. Salam has suffered serious head injuries and has been shifted to Mangaluru for treatment.

Suspecting that the vehicle was transporting two cows, the miscreants tried stop the pick-up vehicle on Sunday. When the driver refused to stop the vehicle, one of the miscreants shot at the vehicle and ordered the driver and others to alight from the vehicle. After the latter alighted, they were beaten black and blue, while the glass of the vehicle was damaged.

The assailants claimed that the victims were transporting cows stolen from the house of Ganapathi at Kaggodlu. SDPI workers and relatives of the assault victims, however, rubbished the accusation that the cattle were stolen.

“Basheer is a farmer and had purchased the cattle from Ganapathi for ploughing. The telephonic conversation between Ganapathi and Basheer can be verified. The cattle were being transported, when the youth assaulted Basheer and the driver and also attacked the vehicle," they insisted.

On the complaint of attempt to murder by shooting, the police have registered a case against Kumar, Madhu Mohan of Kaggodlu, Raja, Vittal of Hakkathoor, Jithesh from Mekeri, and Balakrishna from Biligiri. Meanwhile, Ganapathi, who is also a saffron activist, has filed a theft case against Basheer and Salam accusing them of stealing his cattle.

Expecting justice from impotent government is no use.

BJP one end shows that they are protecting cows, in other end exports beef to foreign countries for more profit.

If they think cow is their God. I think muslims should respect and should refrain from slaughtering cow. One day they will realise that what they have done. In every friday prayer. Imam should announce not to slaughter cow. If it hurts their sentiments.

We also know that its a political game to divide the people. Cow they are using as a bakra.

No 1. Exporter of beef is india. After modi comes to power. India beat brazil. Before brazil was no 1 exporter of beef. Al kabir we all know he is hindu. Who is a big exporter.

If these kind of fight continue. Then india will divide into 4 countries again.

One for hindus second for muslims third for cristains fourth for dalits.
One part for h

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.
