Mangaluru, Aug 18: A day after a Bharatiya Janata Party worker was beaten to death by a group of cow vigilantes in Udupi, activists of left-wing groups on Thursday staged a protest in Mangaluru demanding stringent action against those who disrupt peace in the society.

The protest was organised by Democratic Youth Federation of India and Students' Federation of India, the youth and students wings of Communist Party of India (Marxist) respectively. Members of the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and other likeminded groups also joined the protest held in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner in the city.

Ironically, the BJP leaders of coastal Karnataka, who normally give a bandh call in the region if a Hindu was attacked by people belonging to the other communities for any reason, today are not in a position to give any statement over the incident.

Addressing the protesters, Muneer Katipalla, state president of DYFI, took on the leaders of Sangh Parivar for their “helpless silence” over the brutal murder of their own follower by so called gau rakshaks'.

He said that the latest incident of mob lynching once again proved that Hindutva ideologues always instigate people from backward classes against other backward classes and oppressed sections.

Local DYFI leaders Santosh Kumar Bajal, Dayanada Shetty, Imtiyaz BK, SFI leaders Charan Shetty, Nitin Kuttar, Dalit leaders Raghu Yekkar, Laxman Kanchan participated in the protest among others.

A group of around 30 people owing allegiance to Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on August 17 attacked Praveen Poojary (29), and his aide Akshay Devadiga (22) near Hebri in Karkala taluk of Udupi district under the pretext of illegal cow transportation. While Poojary, a known BJP activist in the region, breathed his last at a hospital, Devadiga is recuperating slowly.

It's not about any party. It's protest against \Terrorists\" who kill people in the name of \"GauMatha\""
