Mangaluru, Dec 24: A group of leaders and activists of saffron outfits such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on Saturday gathered at Kadri Sri Manjunatha temple to protest the action of authorities to contain ‘sound pollution’ following a complaint by a few Christian neighbours.

They demanded the immediate withdrawal of the restrictions limiting the sound of various programmes on the temple premises. “There should not be any double standards by the government. If restrictions on sound are to be clamped, it should be across all communities,” said VHP district president Jagadish Shenava.

Blanny D’Souza, a resident of an apartment near the temple, and eight others had petitioned the Deputy Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner (Endowment) in August 2016 seeking restriction on sound system on the temple premises for overnight programmes , including annual temple fair, mosaru kudike, Yakshagana and Nema (a ritual).

With no action from authorities, Mr. D’Souza made similar complaints to the Mayor and City Police Commissioner during the first week of December. Following these complaints, the Endowment Department limited the sound within the temple premises, including for two Yakshagana programmes.

Meanwhile, Varadaraja Baliga, one of the signatories, accused Mr D’Souza of misusing his signature and filed a police complaint. “I do not have any problem with the sound at night. My signature has been misused by Mr. D’Souza for a complaint that is politically motivated,” he complained.

New Delhi, Feb 28: They could hear shots being fired, sense smell of property and vehicles being burnt and feel the stones being pelted. Despite the mayhem that unfolded just a few steps away from their doorsteps, many Muslim households did not feel unsafe due to their Hindu neighbours during the violence in Delhi earlier this week.

Tarannum, a resident of Chand Bagh, said she cannot thank her neighbour Nem Singh enough for saving 15 members of her family that fateful night of February 25. Singh, an auto-rickshaw driver, lives right across her house.

"I could hear the thumping on the door. Our neighbour came to rescue us and assured us that no harm would come to our family, " said Tarannum who lives in lane number 7.

"We thought khayamat has come. Our kids too got scared. Those indulging in rioting are just terrorists. Hindu brothers gave us shelter and saved us. How should I say that they are Hindus or Muslims? When we were under attack, these Hindu brothers provided us safety. We should not fight, " said Tarannum while recounting the horror.

She said a mob has no face, no religion. "I want to tell everyone mob has no name, no religion. Kaun sa pathar kisne mara kisko laga pata hai kya? Pathar ne mazhab dekha kya? (Which stone was thrown by whom, who was hit, does anyone know. Stone does not have a religion," she said.

Singh said he could not bear the wailings of his neighbour's kids.

"Dar to tha par apni gali mein kisi ko pareshan nahi hone dena tha. (I too was afraid but I could not have let them hurt my neighbours)," said Singh when asked if he could have also been attacked for giving shelter to Tarannum family.

"I told them that the rioters will have to go through us first. We all were equally scared," recalled Singh.

Jameel, another local resident, said that his Hindu neighbours were even ready to sacrifice their lives to save him from the ruthless terrorists hired by pro-CAA politicians to unleash violence against Muslims.
