The PFI will be holding a Unity March in Ullal on February 17 evening to mark the decennial celebration of the organization.

The activists began to put up banners and flags of the organization at Ullal, Kallapu, Thokkottu, Chembugudde and other areas yesterday without obtaining any permission.

The Ullal police also booked a case against the organizers of the event for violating the rules by illegally putting up promotional flexes.

According to sources, Ullal police swung into action following an order from Mangaluru City Commissioner M Chandra Sekhar. A team led by ACP Shruti visited the spots and seized all the removed banners and flexes before registering a case.

Shifted to Mangaluru

Meanwhile, Popular Front of India has decided to shift its Unity March scheduled to be held in Ullal on February 17 to Nehru Maidan in Mangaluru.

The organizers have sighted ‘technical reasons’ for the last minute changes. However, reliable sources said that the district administration had not granted permission to hold the programme in Ullal. The event in Nehru Maidan is expected to commence at 2:30 p.m.

DK Dist police is working for RSS only providing full security for their march. Police with not object while RSS terrorists are marching with najked sword and lathis in therir hands whereas PFI cannot take out peace march. Why Karnataka Govt is so soft on sangh parivar. Hate mongers from this organisation can give any speech whereas other cannot make any speech.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."

Ballari, Jan 5: Thousands of Muslims, joined by the members of various organisations, on Saturday staged a massive protest in the town condemning the provocative speech by Bellary MLA G Somashekar Reddy.

The police caned the agitators after they tried to lay siege to the house of BJP legislator.

The protesters holding national flag took out a rally from Kaul Bazaar, which passed through the major streets, and culminated at Gadagi Channappa Circle. They raised slogans against the BJP and burnt the effigy of Somashekar Reddy.

The protest sent the traffic haywire Gadagi Channappa Circle and the cascading effect of it was seen across the town. SP C K Babu told the agitators that the MLA has been booked for making provocative speech and pleaded them to hold a protest at Municipal College grounds. But the agitators were in no mood to relent.

Inspector General (Bellary Range) I G Nanjundaswamy has rushed to the town to oversee security. The BJP MLA on Friday made inciting remarks against minorities during his speech at a pro-CAA rally in the town.

FIR against Reddy

The Gandhinagar police in the town on Saturday registered an FIR against MLA Somashekar Reddy, for making a provocative speech, under IPC Sections 153 A (promoting enmity between two religions), 295A (insulting religious beliefs) and 505B.

During his speech at a pro-CAA rally on Friday, Reddy had said, "Hindus are 80% of the population while minorities are 17%. What will happen to you if we hit back? Hence, you should be very careful about your moves and steps."

The legislator came down heavily on those staging protests against CAA in Ballari. "We won't keep quiet if another protest is staged against the CAA. Each Hindu is like Shivaji. Nobody will be alive if all Hindus come out to streets holding swords," he had said.
