As soon as the meeting started, Opposition Leader Roopa D Bangera said the Congress-ruled council has resolved to instal the statue despite objection by BJP. “I objected to the statue proposal even in a meeting covened by the district in-charge minister recently. But the minister said the BJP is politicising the issue.”

Soon the BJP corporators backed Ms Bangera and started shouting slogans against Mayor Harinath till the end of the meeting. At this point, there was a heated argument between the Congress and BJP members, who also hesitate to call Nehru Maidan by its original name. BJP men normally call Nehru Maidan as Central Maidan' or Kendra Maidan'

Mr. Harinath asked all members to sit down and said that he would give a reply. Enraged with this, the BJP members barged into the well of the House stating that the Mayor was preventing them from speaking in the council and picked up an argument with the Mayor.

Mr. Harinath said that Ms. Bangera threw the letter issued by the commissioner to her on him [Mayor] and he had asked all to sit down and did not show any partiality. The BJP members sought an apology from the Mayor. But he refused.

Later, the agitating corporators staged a dharna at the entrance till the meeting got over and shouted slogans now and then.

Three police personnel who entered the council hall on Monday without the permission of the Mayor were sent back immediately after the members objected to it. They entered the hall along with the BJP members when they barged into the Well of the House for the second time seeking an apology from the Mayor. The police also went to the well of House expecting trouble, sources said.

Karnataka BJP urges Modi govt to ban PFI, SDPI

News Network

January 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

Comments

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism. Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first. There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI. BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations. BJP is doing propoganda only. Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis. We should ban them first.
