Slogans were allegedly raised at a programme organized at the United Theosophical College where action of Indian Army in the Kashmir valley was criticized, especially the killing of Burhan Wani, who allegedly had links with the Hizbul Mujahideen.

Students from different colleges in Mangaluru gathered at Ambedkar Circle and then marched towards Hamilton Circle near state bank bus terminus were a protest meeting was held.

Speaking on the occasion, ABVP District Convenor Naveen said that by hailing Burhan Wani as martyr the organisers of the event insulted the soldiers of the Indian Army who laid down the lives fighting for the nation.

The state government must derecognize both Amnesty International (AI), organisers of the programme and United Theosophical College for allowing AI to hold such a program under Sedition laws, he said.

He also condemned the State government for the baton charge against ABVP agitators in Bengaluru. “Instead of inquiring into the complaint of raising anti-national slogans, the State government allowed police to chase away protesting ABVP activists in Bengaluru,” he said.

ABVP Mangaluru Taluk Convenor Sudhip Shetty said State government has to be cautious of groups in Bengaluru that are speaking against the nation and the Army.

He alleged that by trying to project the Indian Army, which according to him was trying to curb terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir, in bad light, the organisers had indulged in anti-national activities.

They sought the immediate arrest of those who reportedly raised Pro-Pakistan slogans' during the programme.

The agitators warned that they would not disperse until the Deputy Commissioner K.G. Jagadeesha personally receive their memorandum. Around noon, Mr. Jagadeesha received the memorandum and said it will be forwarded to Governor Vajubhai Vala.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
