Hassan, Apr 2: Prohibitory orders were imposed at Sigaranahalli in Holenarsipur taluk of Hassan district on Friday after violence broke out over the entry of Dalits into a temple in the village.

Dalits

The upper castes' have been opposing Dalits entering the Basaveshwara Temple. An angry mob assaulted the Assistant Commissioner, two journalists, about 10 policemen, besides pelting stones at police vehicles.

Sources said that Superintendent of Police R.K. Shahapurwad, who rushed to the village with additional police forces to bring the situation under control, also suffered injuries. The police resorted to lathi-charge and burst tear-gas shells to disperse the crowd.

A clash had ensued between Dalits and uppercastes after the dalits entered the Basaveshwara temple in the village, six months ago. The village was tense following the incident and several peace meetings were held to ensure harmony. Following the intervention of the administration, Dalits were allowed to enter the temple. However, puja and other rituals at the temple had stopped since that day.

The fair of Durgaparameshwari deity at Hariharapura, close to Singaranahalli is scheduled for Saturday and the uppercastes had made preparations for performing puja at the Basaveshwara temple also. Meanwhile, the Dalits made a request to the district administration to allow them to perform puja during the fair. As the situation turned tense, additional police forces were deployed at the village, much to the chagrin of the upper castes.

A group of people pelted stones on police officers and other officials who were camping in Singaranahalli on Friday morning. Some people assaulted the police with clubs also.

Dalits, please build your own very good and large temple to follow as per real Hinduism (VEDA TEACHING).
As per Veda no statues, no idol, no photo. Make separate section for ladies.
Allow everyone whoever is interested.
It will get popularity.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

 

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism.  Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

 

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
