July 29, 2012

Mangalore, July 29: Members of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike were on Sunday taken into custody by police for violating the Section 144 that is enforced in the city following the Padil party attack.

The activists of the Vedike assembled in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office and held a sit-in shouting slogans against westernization of culture.

It is learnt that they have planned to stage a protest condemning the police action against the Vedike-led miscreants, who on Saturday evening barged into a private home-stay and attacked revellers.

The protestors justified the attack on the girls and boys at the homestay, saying it was to "protect culture". They also condemned the police for not taking action against the boys and girls who were involved in partying.

In spite of warnings from the police, the group continued their protest, following which, they were taken into custody by the police. A private bus was also deployed, besides the police van to take the protestors to the police station.

A public announcement was also made by the police warning people not to hold public gatherings as Section 144 has been enforced in the city.

A group of around 50 miscreants, said to be activists of Hindu Janajagrana Vedike, had all of a sudden barged into Morning Mist Home Stay at Padil, on Saturday evening and beat up a group of young women and men, claiming they were violating traditional Indian values.

The Ayodhya police booked a senior journalist on Wednesday for raising questions on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's visit to the Ram Janmabhoomi for a religious ceremony amid the lockdown over the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The FIR mentions a tweet by Siddharth Varadarajan, editor of news portal 'The Wire', where he said: "On the day the Tablighi Jamaat event was held, Adityanath insisted a large Ram Navami fair planned for Ayodhya from March 25 to April 2 would proceed as usual and that 'Lord Ram would protect devotees from the coronavirus."

Varadarajan had clarified in another tweet that it was "Acharya Paramhans, Hindutva stalwart and head of the official Ayodhya temple trust, who said Ram would protect devotees from coronavirus, and not Adityanath, though he allowed a public event on 25/3 in defiance of the lockdown and took part himself".

Taking the suo-motu cognizance, Faizabad Kotwali police station incharge Nitish Kumar Shrivastava registered an FIR under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 505(2) (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code for doing "disreputable" comment against the chief minister.
