Mangaluru, May 9: City based activist and rationalist Narendra Nayak on Monday filed a complaint with the Urwa Police about a threat to his life.

nayakIn his complaint, Mr. Nayak, who has been spearheading a movement seeking the arrest of those involved in the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga, said that he was threatened by Shashank Shenoy during a chat session on Facebook on Monday afternoon.

The person, who is said to be a follower of Kashi Mutt, asked Mr. Nayak not to speak against Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha and the Venkataramana Temple.

Questioning Mr. Nayak for “putting [his] dirty hands into a tiger's mouth”, Shashank Shenoy is said to have told Mr. Nayak to treat it as a threat.

Mr. Nayak has, in his complaint, also made a mention of the derogatory comments by Goud Saraswat community members on his Facebook account for sharing a report of a local newspaper related to the investigation of Vinayak Baliga's murder.

The community members are said to have threatened Mr. Nayak saying that he would be thrown out of the Goud Saraswat community, he said. The Urwa Police have registered his complaint.

GSBs hurt

Members of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community on Monday asked Police Commissioner M. Chandra Sekhar to take action against false reports in a section of media of the arrest of a close aide of Kashi Mutt seer Samyamindra Tirtha in connection with the murder of RTI activist Vinayak Baliga.

The members, led by S. Narayan, secretary of the Bengaluru Kashi Mutt Committee, said that they were hurt over the false reports maligning the seer.

It was wrong on the part of the media to report that Vishwanath Bhat, an aide of the seer, had been arrested. Such reports had hurt the community members, they said.

Ruling out any connection of the seer with the murder, Pandit Narasimhacharya, Tantri of Mangaluru's Venkataramana Temple, told reporters that they have sought action against all those behind the false reports maligning the mutt and the seer.

Jan 28: Hindu temple processions with an elephant adorned in ornaments carrying the idol, with percussionists and devotees walking side by side, are no new sight in Kerala. However, a similar procession in Kerala's cultural capital, Thrissur, turned heads. Hundreds of Muslims were seen holding hands and clearing traffic to help the procession move smoothly.

Muslims made way for the passage of a Hindu temple procession during their protest against Citizenship Amendment Act(ACT) in Thrissur on Saturday, January 25.

Various Muslim organisations had organised a mass protest in the Swaraj ground in the town. On the same day, the local Bhaktapriyam temple's procession was also taking place. Stuck in a dilemma, the temple authorities approached the police and the Muslim organisations to find a solution. The Muslim organisations then promised to help proceed the temple procession without any obstacles.

Nearly a thousand people who had turned up for the protest volunteered to clear traffic and control the crowd so that the temple procession could smoothly pass through the town.

A video of the procession was shared on Facebook by the Thrissur City Police on Saturday, which showed Muslims holding hands on either side of the procession to make way.

"Humanity is bigger than religion. That's the lesson the residents of Thrissur are giving to the country. Thrissur is truly the cultural capital of Kerala," read the caption of the post in Malayalam. The video soon went viral and was viewed by over 36k views.
