Mangaluru, Aug 5: Sangh Parivar activists have threatened to launch a hunger strike in the city and taluk headquarters in Dakshina Kannada district on August 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to press the government to arrest those behind the murder of RSS activist Sharath Madiwala in B.C. Road a month ago.

Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Vishwa Hindu Parishat, the Bajrang Dal, the Hindu Jagarana Vedike and other allied organisations will participate in it, according to K. Monappa Bhandary, former MLC. Talking to presspersons here on Saturday, Mr. Bhandary said despite setting up a special investigation team the district police have so far not arrested any person. 

While police arrested persons involved in the murder of Karopady Gram Panchayat Vice-President Zalil Karopady (in April) and Mohammed Ashraf or Ashraf Kalai (on June 26) quickly, Mr. Bhandary said that they were taking a long time to trace the accused in this case.

“Our police are competent and professional. There seems to be some pressure that’s preventing them from acting against the accused persons,” he alleged.

Vishwa Hindu Parishat Dakshina Kannada unit president Jagadish Shenva alleged that the frequent transfer of police officials in the district showed the lack of seriousness of the State government into the investigation of the murder.

"Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had started a scheme 'Anna Bhagya' under which free rice and wheat to 494 education institutions, NGOs, and old age homes were provided and the present government has stopped providing benefits to the poor people," said the MLA.

Alleging that the present government has stopped with the scheme Khadar said, "From last two months the government has stopped providing free food to the institutes and NGOs."

Khadar further demanded to restart the scheme to help the poor students.

"They should restart the scheme which supports poor students and old age houses, or congress will protest if the scheme is not restarted."

Last year in August, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa had said that his government has no plans to stop any "pro-people schemes" including Anna Bhagya.

"Our government has no plans to scrap any of the pro-people schemes. Our Government is a pro-people Government. I have already signed the file to release grants to continue the "Anna Bhagya scheme" the twitter handle of Karnataka Chief Minister's Office had quoted him as saying.
