Kasargod, Dec 22: At least ten Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, including the party's SC/ST Morcha president P. Sudheer, were injured after a group of persons, allegedly Communist Party of India (Marxist) workers, attacked them at Cheemeni town on Wednesday. Two police personnel were also injured in the attack.

clashThe attack came as Mr. Sudheer was addressing a meeting in connection with the demonetisation of high-value currency notes. A police team, led by Cheemeni SI M.Sreedharan, tried to disperse the crowd. In the melee, Mr. Sreedharan and constable Shaju suffered injuries.

The injured BJP workers were admitted to a hospital at Ramnagar in Kanhangad.

Mr. Sudheer, a lawyer, had held talks with the displaced tribesmen of Malathumpara Colony at Periye, who were on a hunger strike in front of the Central University of Kerala seeking jobs for those who had to vacate their land for the university.

The local CPI(M) leadership, including K. Kunhiramaan, MLA, had been insisting that the university provide jobs to one of the eligible family members who had to vacate their land for the university. Sources here said Mr. Sudheer's talks with the tribespeople explaining the difficulties in acceding to their demands led to the attack, sources said.

The police have registered cases under various IPC sections in connection with the attack.

Three injured

In a separate incident, three youths were injured, one seriously, in a clash involving two groups at Cherkala, near Kasargod.

Those injured were identified as Noufal, 24, Muhammed Hashim, 22, and Abdul Shihab, 25.

While the seriously injured Noufal was rushed to a hospital in Mangaluru, the others were being treated at the General Hospital here, a senior officer at the Vidhanagar police station said.

The incident followed an altercation over bathing in a stream at Edaneer earlier in the day, the police said. Kasaragod Town SI K. Ajith Kumar sustained injuries after he fell into a ditch while giving chase to youths allegedly involved in the clash.

The police have taken two youths into custody in connection with the incident.

Frustrated BJP is trying for public disturbance all over india and particularly in Kerala. Police should take harsh action on these goondas and arrest them. These are jobless goons and are trying to loot from public property by creating disturbance. I appreciate kerala police for taking appropriate action against this anti nationals.

Bengaluru, Aug 6: Firebrand BJP Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday said that control of state power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma.

His comments, in a series of tweets, came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya.

"Dear Hindus, Most important lesson is that control of State power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma. When we didn't control State, we lost our temple. When we regained, we rebuilt. The 282 (seats) in 2014 and 303 (seats) in 2019 to Sri Narendra Modi made today possible!", Surya, who is also the party's BJP youth Wing state general secretary, tweeted.

He also said that the survival of India depends on the survival of Sanatana Dharma.

"The Sanatana Dharma, that is nationalism,' Sri Aurobindo had said in his Uttarapara speech. But what does it mean? Along with Jai Sri Ram, the purohits also chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai - That is Dharmic nationalism. If Dharma survives, India survives," he said in another tweet.

Kolkatta, Mar 19: A local leader of BJP has been arrested for organising a cow urine consumption event in Kolkata, claiming that it will protect people from coronavirus or cure those already infected, leading to a civic volunteer falling ill after drinking it.

The police said that 40-year-old Narayan Chatterjee, who had on Monday organised a cow worship programme at a cowshed and distributed cow urine, was arrested following a complaint filed by the victim.

He had vouched for its "miraculous" properties while offering gaumutra to others.

A civic volunteer, who was on duty near the cow shed also consumed gaumutra and fell sick on Tuesday, following which he lodged a complaint with the police against Chatterjee.

Reacting to the arrest, the state BJP leadership criticised the state government.

"Chatterjee had distributed cow urine, but he didn't fool people in consuming it. When he distributed it he clearly said it was cow urine, he didn't force anyone to drink it. It has not been proved whether it is harmful or not.

"So how can just police arrest him without any reason. This is completely undemocratic," state BJP General Secretary Sayantan Basu said.

West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh has said there is no harm in drinking cow urine and he has no qualms in admitting he consumes it.

His party colleague and MP Locket Chatterjee, however, differed, terming it an "unscientific belief" that should be shunned.

The cow urine distribution as a cure for coronavirus had drawn sharp criticism from the doctors.

Bengaluru, June 22: BJP leader and Madikeri MLA Appachu Ranjan has urged the Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai to drop cases against the saffron activists who had involved in attacks against cattle traders and transporters across the state.

In a letter addressed to the CM and the Home Minister, the MLA expressed his concern against the illegal transportation and slaughtering of cattle. Cow is considered to be holy in Hinduism. Butchering of cattle has been hurting the religious sentiments of people, he stated.

Ranjan stated that cases had been registered against 'Gau Rakshaks' or cow vigilantes who had fought against the illegal transportation of cattle.

“Filing cases against the protectors of cattle is condemnable. If the cases are not dropped, then there will be none to question the illegal cattle transporters,” he said adding that cases registered against various police stations against cow vigilantes must be dropped.
