Sleuths of Mangaluru Rural police station on Monday arrested 13 SRS activists on charge of trespass into a school on the city's outskirts. On Sunday three were arrested.

A group of Sri Ram Sena activists barged into a classroom of St. Thomas Aided Higher Primary School in Bondantila near Neermarga on Saturday.

While the activists alleged that students were forced to learn Arabic, the headmaster said that classes were being conducted for 40 students every Saturday on the request of parents. The headmaster had filed a complaint with the Mangaluru Rural police.

The police on Sunday arrested Nithin, Dinesh and Santhosh. On Monday they arrested Mukesh, Ravi, Chethan, Nithin, Kishore, Sunil, Nithin, Rajesh, Ravi, Raghavendra, Jayanth, Prakash, and Chandrahas. The police said a total of 17 persons had reportedly barged into the school and created a ruckus on Saturday.

Chief Whip of the Congress in the Legislative Council Ivan D'Souza condemned the act. In a statement, Mr. D'Souza said he has asked the city police to be tough against groups trying to disturb peace and tranquillity.

Mr. D'Souza visited the school and spoke to students and teachers. The Democratic Youth Federation of India and the Komu Souharda Vedike too have condemned the act.

why only 15 terrorists arrested while 40 to 60 terrorists entered the school by force and threatened the teacher plus students. Let all be jailed under goonda act. Hate mongers should no sympathy. their place should be jail for ever. supporters of these terrorists should also be noted and arrested.

@ Kiran Rao, as you said they did not harm any one.
Just look at above picture. The tall SRS man entered class room while the teacher was teaching to his students. Is it right ?? 17 members ( not educated, illiterates) gang entering class room?

New Delhi, Jan 19: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Sunday asserted that every state assembly has the constitutional right to pass a resolution and seek the amended Citizenship Act's withdrawal, but if the law is declared constitutional by the Supreme Court then it will be problematic to oppose it.

His remarks came a day after he had said there is no way a state can deny the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) when it is already passed by the Parliament.

"I believe the CAA is unconstitutional. Every State Assembly has the constitutional right to pass a resolution and seek its withdrawal. When and if the law is declared to be constitutional by the Supreme Court then it will be problematic to oppose it. The fight must go on!" Sibal said in a tweet.

His remarks on the CAA at the Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) on Saturday had caused a flutter as several non-BJP governments, including Kerala, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Maharashtra, have voiced their disagreement with the CAA as well as National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR).

"If the CAA is passed no state can say 'I will not implement it'. It is not possible and is unconstitutional. You can oppose it, you can pass a resolution in the Assembly and ask the central government to withdraw it.

"But constitutionally saying that I won't implement, it is going to be problematic and going to create more difficulties," said the former minister of law and justice.
