Mangaluru: Police gets nod to prosecute Kalladka Bhat in hate speech case

Mangaluru, Mar 23: The state government has given nod to the city police to prosecute Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat in one of the cases, nearly a year after two cases were against him in connection with provocative speeches.

On April 6, 2018, the Konaje police registered a case against Bhat for allegedly making a speech inciting communal sentiments during a hunger strike against the theft of a cow from Amruthadhara Go Shala run by Sri Ramachandrapura Mutt. The hunger strike was by Rajaram Bhat, the caretaker of the go shala.

Another case was registered against Dr. Bhat on April 15, 2018 by the Bajpe police for his alleged provocative speech at Kajepadavu.

The two cases were booked during the campaign for the Assembly elections.

A senior police officer said the police had sought mandatory prosecution sanction in the two cases. A few days ago, the police received the sanction in the case registered by the Konaje police and a chargesheet was filed. “We are hopeful of getting sanction in the other case shortly,” the officer said.

As many as 32 cases were registered by the city police during the Assembly elections. Of them, 22 are pending trial. A case of alleged distribution of 100 shawls registered by the Mangaluru South police ended in conviction. The two cases against Bhat are among the few that the police were awaiting prosecution sanction.

This hate monger is required to be arrested immediately as he is planning to create disturbance in society during election.   I urge EC to strip his voting power also.   He should not be allowed to make any speech in public and should be put in jail forever.

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.
