Kasargod, Nov 19: The Kasargod police's action of registering a case against Samastha Kerala Jam-Iyyathul Ulema activists for "raising slogans against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi" during a Shariah protection rally in the Hosdurg police station limits on November 14 has become a controversy.

skPolice have registered a suo motu case against Basheer Vellikoth, Ismail Moulavi and over a hundred identifiable persons under Sections 143, 147, 145, 283, 153, 149 of the IPC. According to the FIR, the mob led by the accused made an unlawful assembly with the intention of creating trouble.

Police said that those in the backline of the rally had created trouble and unheeded the police direction to disperse. "They also shouted slogans against the Prime Minister and created traffic block," police said.

Vellikoth, the IUML Hosdurg mandalam president, said that the rally was peaceful. "It was organised to protest against the Centre's move to bring in common civil code in the country. I was leading the rally from the front," he said.

Vellikoth, who is also the president of the Samyuktha Jamaat Committee, a co-ordination committee of 72 mahal committees, said police in Kanhangad have been showing partiality for some time now.

"They had diverted traffic for the rally in connection with the conference of the All India Democratic Women's Conference, the feeder organisation of the CPM, a few weeks ago. But they registered a case against us for a peaceful rally," he said.

Udupi, Apr 25: Senior RSS leader H Somashekhar Bhatt received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday enquiring about his health.

Bhatt got emotional hearing the Prime Minister's voice at the other end, family sources said.

The Prime Minister called at 8.30 AM and began the conversation with 'Somashekharji' and spoke for about six minutes.

The 85-year-old veteran recalled how the Jana Sangh came to power in Udupi municipality under the leadership of V S Acharya in 1968 and about his association with the Sangh Parivar through the decades and his imprisonment during the Emergency.

Bhatt, former Udupi municipality president, later said it was a rare honour for him.

"I am very glad that PM Modi called and spoke to me. I shared the experience of meeting him at the Jaipur session.

Asked to take care of health and expressed concern," he said.

The Prime Minister has been calling senior functionaries of the party who worked for the Sangh Parivar in the time of adversities to build up the BJP in its present form and seeking advice from them.

He had also called in recent days former MLA Ram Bhat who was elected from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada and D H Shankar Murthy, who was former chairman of the state legislative council, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel tweeted.
