Aug 15 black day; Dec 6 victory day: Kalladka Bhat at RSS protest

November 10, 2010

Mangalore, November 10: Launching a verbal attack against minority communities of India and those who condemn the activities of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, its leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat said the Sangh would retaliate if any action is taken against it.


He was addressing thousands of people gathered at Nehru Maidan, here on Wednesday, November 10 as per the call of national leaders of RSS to protest the Union government's “conspiracy”, against the outfit.

Perturbed by the on and off allegations by Central agencies like CBI on its proved links with terrorist elements, the RSS recently appealed to “all Hindus” of the country to observe a day-long protest against the Centre's ''political conspiracy” to tarnish its image with allegations of links with terrorist activities on November 10.

After senior RSS functionary Indresh Kumar, was arrested in connection with Ajmer blast, Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also had compared RSS with other terrorist organisations.

Responding to the call of their leaders, over ten thousand saffron activists including those from organizations such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Hindu Jagarana Vedike and Bajarang Dal took part in the three-hour-long protest. Bhat, who is also the chairman of Sri Rama Vidya Kendra of Kalladka had also brought a large number of students from his school in many buses to strengthen the protest.

In his hour long provocative speech, Bhat went on to claim that August 15, 1947, was a black day in the history of our country. “People call it as the Day of Independence and Freedom for country. But, indeed it was a black day in the history of India, because Congress party came to power on that day”, he said with an addition, “I reiterate December 6, 1992, the day when Babri Masjid was demolished by our activists, was indeed the Day of Victory for all Indians”.

Calling the Muslims living in India as “traitors” and “supporters of Pakistan”, Bhat said due to the appeasement policy pursued by Congress leaders from Pandith Jawaharlal Nehru to Rahul Gandhi the population of Muslims and Christians in India has grown to 20% and 5% from the day of Independence when their population was 2.5% and 0.5% respectively.

Attributing an apparent lie to the chief architect of Indian constitution, who converted to Budhism after publicly burning “Manusmrithi”, a book highly revered by RSS, Bhat said “Dr BR Amedakar had once urged the rulers of Independent India to bring all the Hindus from Pakistan to India and send all Muslims remaining in India to Pakistan after the partition. But, ruling Congress disregarded his call.”

“Now, the same Congress trying to defame RSS, the most patriotic organisation of India, by accusing it of indulging in terror activities. The people who are taking part in the nationwide protest against these allegations have been sending a clear message to the Union government guided by an Italian woman, who wants to suppress the Hindus”, he said.

He also called renowned writer and human activist Arundhathi Roy, a “cruel and barbarian woman” for demanding autonomy to Kashmir and compared Rahul Gandhi with a young donkey following old donkeys.

Mohan Das Swamiji of Manila Math, KS Nithyanada Swamiji of Chikmagalur, VHP leader and litterateur Aerya Laxminarayan Alva, Dr Vaman Shenoy and Rajashekharananda Swamiji of Gurpur Math also addressed the gathering.

Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLA Yogish Bhat and a host of political leaders from BJP witnessed the mammoth protest, which concluded in the afternoon.

Udupi, Jun 9: A Mesolithic site has been discovered at Iduru-Kunjadi in Kundapura taluk of Udupi district of Karnataka by Prof T Murugeshi, Associate Professor of Ancient History and Archaeology at MSRS College, Shirva.

Prof Murugeshi said on Tuesday that the site is near a rock art site of the Mesolithic period that was unearthed. It is located in the Mookambika Wildlife Reserve Forest. At Iduru-Kunjadi, the finds of Mesolithic tools are characterised by blades, scrapers, burine, fluted cores, arrow-heads and flakes of the non-geometric pattern.

He said that though the site was found two years back, it took time to study and identify them. They resembled the tools found in a stratified context at Uppinangady on the Netravati basin, he added.
