Bengaluru, Jan 24: The JD(S) is looking to leverage anti-Citizen (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) sentiment sweeping the country to revive itself and will hold protests in Bengaluru and New Delhi.
The Bengaluru protest is scheduled for Friday. At a meeting of party workers in Bengaluru on Thursday, party patriarch HD Deve Gowda and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy urged the rank and file to participate in the rally to send out a loud and clear message to the BJP.
"The BJP has set out to make Muslims second-grade citizens. India has 40 crore Muslims, can these communal forces eliminate them all?" Gowda said in his address. "We should have the guts to launch a massive protest at Jantar Mantar. We should be prepared to go to jail in the fight against [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi and [Union home minister] Amit Shah."
Gowda said he will lead the rally in Delhi and urged secular parties to unite to take on the BJP. "It is important that regional parties, which share a secular ideology, unite on a common agenda and fight the BJP. Bihar, Kerala and Odisha have said they will not implement CAA. The sentiment is likely to spread to other states," Gowda said.
Kumaraswamy said not only Muslims but many other communities will also bear the brunt of BJP’s "divisive politics". "This pair of Hakka-Bukka [Modi and Shah] is not targeting Muslims alone," he said. "For them, all communities other than upper caste Hindus are inferior Shudras. They will treat even Lingayats, Vokkaligas and Dalits with the same contempt."
The former CM made a special appeal to Lingayats, who generally back the BJP, to stop supporting the saffron party’s caste-oriented politics. "You had appreciated my farm loan waiver scheme and promised support in the elections. But, the results were contrary to that," he said.
The JD(S) passed three resolutions including one to condemn the Centre for enacting CAA. The others were to protest against the Centre’s indifference to the floods in the state and the failed economic policy of the Centre.
The miscreants have been identified as as Rakesh Nazare, Onkar Raichur, Harish Salunke, Vinay Patil and Sagar Benagi, all said to be the members of Sri Ram Sena.

Dont live your life with HATE in your heart for anyone,
You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you HATE
Dear Brothers.
There is no God but ALLAH and Muhammad pbuh is the last and final messenger of ALLAH. ALLAH guides the one who is HONEST in knowing the TRUTH.
The Prophets of ALLAH are many but 25 Prophets are mentioned in QURAN by name.The best of them are 5
Prophet Noah,
Prophet Abraham,
Prophet Moses,
Prophet Jesus and
Prophet Muhammad - Peace be upon them all.
Mankind needs Guidance from their teachings... They all conveyed that ALLAH is the creator of all that exists (human beings, animals, plants, earth, universe and all that is in between them) and we all should WORSHIP him alone without associating partners.
Everyone is born as a Muslim but their parents take them to worship different man made objects as Gods... which is a Sin. (Until U research on it, You will never understand the consequences on worshiping others beside the True God)
Come to the TRUTH... and use your intellect to know the reality with LOGIC And REASON ---- QURAN invites YOU to use this logic and REASON & compare it with Bible, vedas and other scriptures... PLease TRY to read QURAN (TheQuranproject online)without being bias.
These people are jealous that they cannot attract/convert anybody from other community.....Islam is the best religion....one Allah....one prophet...thank Allah--- am a muslim....
these people can sell ramayana and mahabharatha nobody will come to object
These goons are afraid of people finding truth .and leaving the baseless religion....
