Tumkur, November 13: In the guise of Prani Daya Sangha members, a group of saffron activists attacked a few Muslims who reportedly bought cows from farmers for the purpose of sacrifice during Eid-ul-Adha on Friday evening at Huliyurdurga of Kunigal taluk.

According to a media report, Nataraj, a Bajarang Dal activist, Prasanna, VHP activist and Shankara Linge Gowda have attacked Muslims and brutally assaulted them. They took the cows to police station, filed complaint against its owners and later took them to Madhugiri Goshale.

In the wake of Eid-ul-Adha, as many as 12 Muslim families of Huliyurdurga neighbourhood had bought cows and tied them in their houses. When Hindutva activists came to know about this, they stormed the houses, local people said.

Following this incident, people of Huliyurdurga including both Hindus and Muslims staged a protest in front of the Police Station condemning the attack.

They accused the police of supporting illegal activities of Hindutva activists who stormed into houses and assaulted the innocent people.


One of the protesters, belonging to Hindu community said they have been living harmoniously with Muslim brothers from a long time. Some miscreants who do not tolerate the peace in the area have tried to create trouble, he said. He also urged the police to withdraw the cases filed against Muslims.

Tension prevailed in the area following the incident. Tumkur SP Dr PS Harsha, Additional SP Shivashankar rushed to the spot and tried to convince the protesters. Police also assured the protesters of taking strict action against the saffron activists.

Though the situation is under control, district reserved police teams have been deployed in the area.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday termed as 'disturbing' the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley and said the government should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue.

He sought to know as to how Indian soldiers lost their lives during a de-escalation process and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh should come out with a clearer picture.

"Reports coming from #GalwanValley are disturbing. Why did our soldiers lose their lives during a de-escalation process? In national interest, the PM and RM should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue with the Chinese. #LADAKHSTANDOFF," Gowda tweeted. An Indian Army officer and two soldiers were killed during the confrontation with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the first such incident in the last 45 years that reflected massive escalation in the five- week border row.

The Army said India lost an officer and two soldiers during the violent face-off, while there were casualties on the Chinese side as well.
