Karwar, Dec 18: The BJP has dropped plans to hold a protest rally against the death of Paresh Mesta, at Honnavar in Uttara Kannada district on Monday.

As the town was returning to normality after over a week of communal tension, the scheduled BJP rally was expected to lead to another showdown between BJP and the police, who have banned all protests and rallies in the district till December 20.

A BJP spokesperson said that the rally was dropped as the probe into the death of Mesta had been handed over to the CBI.

The post-mortem report of the Paresh Mesta had brushed aside the allegations of BJP that he was tortured to death.

Meanwhile, the Uttara Kannada police have exposed the plot of communal forces to create unrest in the region by spreading false rumours that Muslims tried to kidnap a Hindu school girl.

True face of devil is open now.  BJP tried its best to turn a small issue into disturbance and bring distructin to properties of one community.   thanks God that false idea of anti national bjp is disclosed and people came to know true face of these anti social elements.  I am sure that Mesta death was also master planned by these waste people to create trouble in society.   Well done police for bringing out the truth.   so called leaders of people (MP) who were behind the trouble should be booked for rioting + distruction of property and all the cost should be compensated by them.   Police should be strict on these anti social leaders.
