Farooq Ullal, spokesperson of Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee and member of Ullal City Municipal Council had parked his Swift car outside his home last night.

When he came out of home early morning on Thursday to attendant Fajr namaz at a nearby mosque, he found his car was damaged with the windshield and all the windows shattered.

Mr Farooq, who is also the president of a local mosque, has ruled out the communal angle in the attack and held a gang of drunkards responsible for the act.

“I do not have any personal rivalry or animosity with anyone in any community. I am sure that no one wants to harm me or my property. This is the act of a few drunkards who has been troubling the people in the area,” he said urging the police to nab the culprits.

He said that a gang of miscreants has been extorting money from pilgrims who visit Ullal Dargah. “The same gang now started demanding hafta from local shopkeepers and issuing threats. They are drunkards. This might be the act of same gang,” he said.

A case has been registered at Ullal police station and investigations are on.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: Firebrand BJP Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday said that control of state power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma.

His comments, in a series of tweets, came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya.

"Dear Hindus, Most important lesson is that control of State power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma. When we didn't control State, we lost our temple. When we regained, we rebuilt. The 282 (seats) in 2014 and 303 (seats) in 2019 to Sri Narendra Modi made today possible!", Surya, who is also the party's BJP youth Wing state general secretary, tweeted.

He also said that the survival of India depends on the survival of Sanatana Dharma.

"The Sanatana Dharma, that is nationalism,' Sri Aurobindo had said in his Uttarapara speech. But what does it mean? Along with Jai Sri Ram, the purohits also chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai - That is Dharmic nationalism. If Dharma survives, India survives," he said in another tweet.
