Mangaluru, Sept 7: The city police successfully prevented the BJP Yuva Morcha’s illegal motorbike rally in the city on Thursday by briefly detaining scores of Hindutva agitators including prominent BJP leaders after they violated a ban imposed the cops.
In order to prevent untoward incidents such as stone pelting, the Mangaluru city police had denied permission to hold proposed motorbike rally from Dr B R Ambedkar Circle (Jyothi Circle) to DC Office. The police had allowed the BJP only to hold a public meeting for three hours, from 11 am to 2 pm at Nehru Maidan.
However, hundreds of BJP activists gathered in the morning at Ambedkar Circle wherein their leaders delivered speeches till noon. They had decided to violate the ban and hold bike rally.
However, soon after former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa flagged off the illegal rally, the men in khaki stepped into action and took the agitators into custody.
The BJP leaders continued to raise slogans against chief minister Siddaramaiah led government for not granting permission to hold motorbike rally.
Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Dr K G Jagadeesha also has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 35 of Karnataka Police Act, restricting bike rally and procession till the midnight of September 8 in entire district.
