Honnavar, Feb 1: A group of seers and heads of mutts have come forward to hold a silent march in Uttara Kannada district which witnessed several communal clashes and murders in recent days.
The suspicious death of Paresh Mesta in Honnavar weeks ago had triggered widespread violence in the district. Local BJP MP and union minister Anant Kumar Hegde had claimed that Paresh was a BJP activist and that he was tortured to death by Muslims. However, post mortem report of Paresh, who was found drowned, had proven Hegde’s claim to be false.
However, thanks to provocative speeches and sporadic untoward incidents, people in the district still live in the fear of being attacked by assailants or arrested by the police.
Meanwhile, a group of seers of the district have gathered and decided to walk for communal harmony. The silent march will be held in the district soon.
Apart from the seers, advocates, students, educationists, political leaders, temple managements, retired government employees and doctors will join the seers in the silent march.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

Seers doing good thing. Some followers making disparity between people
They are doing noble cause. All people of either religion should come forward and participate in this march. We desperately need peace from some goons from our country.
