Mangaluru, Aug 21: Dozens of youth congress activists were briefly detained by the police on Sunday morning when they staged a black flag protest against Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah in the city.
The incident took place in front of Circuit House, when Mr Shah, who arrived in the city early morning, was taking rest inside amidst tight security.
Led by Mithun Rai, the Dakshina Kannada district unit president of the Youth Congress, the activists raised slogans against Mr Shah and called him a terrorist.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Rai said that that BJP chief was responsible for several communal riots that claimed lives of innocent human beings across the country.
“BJP is a party of hypocrites. They promise something and do something else. They preach something and practice something else,” he said, recalling the recent case of cow vigilantism in Udupi, wherein a BJP worker was killed by Hindutva activists for allegedly trafficking cows.
“People in Dakshina Kannada want peace. Amit Shah has come here to disrupt peace,” said another protestor and added that the BJP was trying to hijack national flag by calling their ill-intended rally as Tiranga Yatra.
“BJP has no connection with freedom movement. In fact RSS supported British when the Congress was fighting for India's freedom. Saffron terrorist killed Mahatma Gandhi too,” he said.
When the crowd began to grow bigger, the police surrounded the protestors and detained all of them. They were taken to Urwa Police Station in two buses. Interestingly, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's former fan, Sudatta Jain Shirthady was also among the protestors.
