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.

Bellary, Jan 4: A BJP MLA has apparently threatened 'minority' Muslims against participating in anti-CAA protests, saying that opposing the new Citizenship Act will not be good for them and they will have to face serious repercussions.

"It's just a caution for those who are protesting against the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). We are 80 per cent and you (Muslims) are 18 per cent. Imagine what will happen if we take charge," MLA Somashekar Reddy told a gathering here on Friday.

"Beware of the majority when you live in this country. This is our country. If you want to live here, you will have to, like the Australian Prime Minister said, follow the country's traditions," he added.

He said: "So, I warn you that CAA and NRC are made by Modi and Amith Shah. If you will go against these acts, it won't be good."

Continuing to spew venom, the MLA further said, "If you wish, you can go to Pakistan. We don't have any issues. Intentionally, we would not send you."

He said that the community should live in harmony with Hindus. "If you will act as enemies, we should also react like enemies," he said.

Earlier, Bengaluru BJP MP Tejaswi Surya reportedly called CAA opposers as "puncturewalas".

The nation has been witnessing massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has specifically stated that the NRC was never discussed.

Reddy,

 

This is not your father's country nor any other's father's country.

Eh desh kisika baap ka naheen hai.

 

All have sacrificed to liberate this nation.

Your  Gundagiri will not succeed. See soon the result.

 

To goto Pakistan, we  have choice to go or not. But you don't have choice.

 

Your brain also black, we don't what about the color of your heart.

 

Jai Bharath, Jai all countries
