Mangalore, July 12: Following an appeal from ex-chief minister DV Sadanada Gowda, Jaago Mangalore Association has withdrawn its call to protest against the “unjust dethroning of Mr Gowda”

A press release issued by here by Vijaynath Shetty, the Chief Coordinator of MJA, stated that the Association has cancelled its plan to stage a massive protest on July 14 in Mangalore, following a personal appeal by Mr Gowda.

“In his letter, the chief minister acknowledged our love and respect for him and requested us to cancel the public meeting saying it would give him the maximum happiness in this hour,” said Mr Shetty.

“Our objective for organizing the protest was to condemn the unfair tactics being heaped on an honest and decent leader by forces of corruption. We are very touched by Mr Gowda's humble appeal and we salute the great restraint and dignity he has displayed at this juncture. As we respect his decision in this regard, we have no choice but to heed his advice and call off the stir,” he added.

JMA's call for protest meet in support of Mr Gowda had evoked widespread response and the organization was inundated with hundreds of SMSs and phone calls from members of the public expressing their support against the political outrage. Many organizations, sanghas, youth and voluntary bodies from different places had also expressed their support to the protest.
