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.

Bengaluru, Jun 17: The Congress on Wednesday decided to field senior party leader B K Hariprasad and incumbent Naseer Ahmed as candidates for the coming legislative council polls in Karnataka.

"The Congress President Sonia Gandhi has approved the proposal for the candidature of B K Hariprasad and Naseer Ahmed as Congress candidates to contest the biennial elections to the Legislative Council of Karnataka to be elected by the MLAs," the AICC said in a release.

The election is necessitated as the term of seven MLCs- Naseer Ahmed, Jayamma, M C Venugopal, N S Bose Raju, H M Revanna (all Congress), T A Sharavana (JDS) and independent D U Mallikarjuna- will end June 30.

Polling will be held on June 29 to fill seven MLC berths, and June 18 is the last date for filing of nominations.

While the BJP is in a position to win four out of seven seats, the Congress can win two and the JD(S) one.

Twenty-eight valid votes of MLAs are required for each candidate to win.

Hariprasad’s candidature has been announced as his tenure in the Rajya Sabha is coming to end on June 25.

He has also served as general secretary of the party.

Naseer Ahmed, who is retiring as MLC on June 30, will be seeking another term.

According to state Congress president D K Shivakumar, more than 200 aspirants have sought tickets for the two seats that the party can win in the legislative council polls.
