Mangalore, August 6: The city unit of the Hindu Yuva Sene and Nagarika Seva Horata Samithi, Alape, have jointly condemned the 'manhandling' and arrest of Corporator Mohan Padil by the police.

Addressing media persons at Press Club in Mangalore on Monday, Vasudev Bhat, Spokesperson, Hindu Yuva Sene, said that Mr. Padil is a respected social worker and has been serving the society by taking initiatives in religious services for over 23 years, besides being an Ayyappa Swami devotee.

The police wrongly took him into custody on the day of the assault on young boys and girls at Morning Mist homestay, he said.

Mr. Padil being the Corporator of the area had been to the site of the attack to take stock of the situation when the attacks took place. Upon his arrival he saw people in an agitated mood. When he tried to pacify them, the police resorted to lathi charge on the people gathered. When Mr. Padil protested the police action, he was dragged by his collar by the police officers at the spot and taken into custody in spite of him telling them that he was the local Corporator. This action of the police is condemnable, Mr. Bhat said.

He also demanded that apt action be taken against reporter of a Kannada TV news channel for allegedly disseminating false news about Mr. Padil that he was drunk on the occasion.

Bengaluru, Feb 10: Senior Congress leader DK Shivakumar on Sunday hit out at the BJP and RSS for taking out a route march in Ramanagara against the controversial Jesus Christ statue.

“Just because the BJP won 25 seats in the Lok Sabha polls, Congress workers need not lose hope. If the Congress and JD(S) had worked out a better strategy, the BJP would not have won even 10 seats. We will correct our mistakes,” the former Congress minister said.

After the Lok Sabha polls, the BJP has failed to do well in assembly polls and has been losing power in many states. People are hitting the streets protesting against its policies such as CAA and NRC, he said.

Accusing the BJP and RSS of not being able to digest Congress’ victory in the Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha segment in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, he said that the BJP is trying hard to make inroads into the constituency represented by his brother D K Suresh. “Let them take out route march, we don’t care,” he said.

“We all know what the BJP did during the Lok Sabha elections, and the media reported how much money they spent in the elections. What was the Election Commission doing? Was the Income Tax Department sitting with its eyes closed? Why did they conduct raids only in Hassan, Shivamogga and Mandya districts,” he asked.

He alleged that false cases were slapped when him and other leaders, including H D Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah, G Parameshwara and Dinesh Gundurao.
