Mangaluru, Sept 11: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel’s recent attempt to threaten a cop inside a police station in the coastal city during BJP’s ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally on September 8 has sparked an online campaign against him.
Suhail Kandak, chairman of MakeA- change Foundation started an online petition on change.org urging the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against Mr Kateel. In last two days the petition has secured around 800 signatures.
The incident took place at the Mangaluru East Police Station wherein many saffron activists were briefly detained for violating ban orders and attempting to stage illegal motorbike rally as part of a political campaign.
A video clip of Mr Kateel shouting at inspector Maruti Nayak and threatening to give a call for Dakshina Kannada Bandh if the former fails to free all the detained saffron activists immediately has gone viral on social media.
According to Mr Kandak, who is also the general secretary of Karnataka State Youth Congress, Mr Kateel is unfit to continue as an MP as he has repeatedly exhibited such violent behavior.
Mr Kandak recalled that the BJP leader had once threatened to set his own constituency on fire. “We don’t want our youth to be inspired by such leaders,” he said.
