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.

Kalaburagi, Mar 5: Kalaburagi Police has issued a second notice to AIMIM leader Waris Pathan, for his controversial remark, directing him to appear before the Investigation Officer on March 8 and give his statement.

Earlier, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner MM Nagaraj said that the police had served notice to Pathan and asked him to appear on February 29 before Investigation Officer.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally at Kalaburagi, Pathan had said, "time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crore but can dominate over 100 crores."

However, Pathan later took back his words and had said he had not targeted any community but had spoken against members of some organisations.

"If any of my words have hurt someone, I take them back as I am a true Indian," he had said.
