Mangaluru, Feb 23: The Billava leaders in coastal Karnataka have expressed shock over the Sangh Parivar’s opposition to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s participation in a harmony rally in Mangaluru this weekend.

20pinarayiWith Left parties and the organisations ideologically- affiliated to them welcoming Vijayan's scheduled visit to address a communal amity rally at Nehru Maidan on February 25, the Hindutva organizations have raised the anti-pitch by giving a call for a hartal on that day. The district BJP unit has declared support to the day long hartal.

Rakshit Suvarna, a leader of Billava’s Union, has slammed the saffron groups for trying to demonize Vijayan, the only CM from Billava community in the country.

“Vijayan hails from a backward class and he is a proud representative of Billavas and other backward classes. Hence, Billavas of coastal Karnataka are eager to welcome him. The saffron leaders’ opposition to his Mangaluru visit has exposed their true colour,” he said.

Recalling that Sangh Parivar had vehemently opposed reservations to backward classes in the past, he said that the saffron groups are using Billava youths for their selfish gains in coastal Karnataka. “Many Billava youths were killed and hundreds landed in jails because of the communal politics of the saffron groups,” he alleged.
