Mangalore, May 30: The leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party and have determined to ensure a successful Bharat Bundh' on Thursday following a nationwide strike call given by Opposition parties in the Centre in protest against petrol price hike was successful in the region.

BJP Yuva Morcha workers were seen on Wednesday evening distributing anti-Congress pamphlets across the city and urging people to join hands with them to teach a lesson to anti-people government.

“We spent a couple of hours in creating awareness among public today. We distributed pamphlet and appealed the people to make tomorrow's Bundh successful”, said BJP Yuva Morcha leader Raghavendra. He said several contingents of Yuva Morcha workers visited shops and hotels across the city and also met auto-rickshaw drivers.

"The workers of BJP will be out on the roads to ensure that people's voice is heard by the Central Government", said DK district BJP president Padmanabha Kottari.

Mr Kottari said: "We want this bandh to be peaceful but we will ensure that people are allowed to convey their feeling of utter disappointment with the way the central government is managing the economy. If the prices of petrol are much lower in neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, why are we made to pay such high prices?"

He said: "People are fed up with inflation. Not just petrol but prices of food and other essentials are going thru the roof. We will ensure that the union government gets the message. We have appealed to all shops and businesses to stay shut on Thursday."

Protest

Meanwhile, leaders of Left parties in coastal Karnataka have planned to join the nationwide protest against fuel price hike. “We are not going to impose “Bharat Bundh”. Instead, we will observe nationwide protest day”, said DYFI leader Muneer Katipalla.

He said that activists of Left parties would block train at Mangalore Central Railway Station at 9:00 am on Thursday.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

January 14,2020

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

There is 2 side for Terrorism, none have dare to attack or bombing unless there is hand from IB, Police and Intelligence (Also RSS support). Frequent bombings or terror attacks was stopped when Hemant Karkare emerged as true officer.
