Manglauru, May 21: When a group of Congress workers in this coastal city celebrated victory after chief minister B S Yeddyurappa tendered resignation without facing trust vote last Saturday, a few miscreants added a “pro-Pak slogan” to the video of their celebration and posted it on social media platforms.

The 139-second video, wherein sloganeering in support of Pakistan was inserted using an editing software to deceive people, went viral within hours as people began to share it widely on Facebook and WhatsApp groups.

Though it’s not sure who doctored to defame those who had taken part in the celebration in front of Congress office in the city, most of those who shared the video on social media platforms were either Bharatiya Janata Party activists or sympathisers.

J R Lobo, former MLA of Mangaluru City South, who had led the victory celebration today met city police commissioner Vipul Kumar along with a delegation and urged him to arrest those behind the doctored video. In a memorandum submitted to the commissioner he described the miscreants as anti-nationals who wanted to disrupt peace in the society.

Meanwhile, the city police chief has warned social media enthusiasts against sharing the doctored video. “We are verifying the controversial video and prima facie it looks to be a doctored one,” said the top cop.

“We will take necessary action against the person who first posted the videos on social media. Action will be taken against those who have forwarded it too,” he assured.

He also urged people to refrain from forwarding or sharing controversial messages, photos and videos on social media. “Police will take action against those who circulate messages that would create tension in the society. Instead if anyone receives such controversial messages or videos he or she should forward it to the police,” he said.

Not only BJP, all saffron outfit memebrs are expert in such ugly tactics. They were once who hoisted Pakistani flag in Sidhagi to create tenstion. But, fortunately they were arrested. In Assam too recently few BJP activists were arrested for posting pro-ISIS banners.

This might the work of Congress workers to seek attention and to defame BJP. Politics these days is too bad.

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts.

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.
