This BJP MLC from Karnataka wants to kill Afzal Guru’s supporters with AK-47

February 16, 2016

Bagalkot, Feb 16: A member of legislative council belonging Bharatiya Janata Party in Karnataka has expressed his desire to shoot and kill those oppose Afzal Guru.

MLC Narayansa Bhandage told media persons here that he would have shot dead “anti-national” elements opposing the hanging of Afzal Guru, had he been at the JNU in New Delhi.

“I would have gunned them down with an AK-47,” the MLC said. Such a step would discourage anyone from raising a voice against the country, the legislator said, adding that student leader Kanhaiya Kumar - who had organised an event in this regard - was also a terrorist.

Raising slogans in favour of Guru could not be called freedom of expression. He said it was unfortunate that the so-called intellectuals had not come out against such acts. Bhandage also took on the Congress for “instigating” the controversy.

Let him do it the same to his brothers who supports Godse and celebrate Godse jayanti.

This man is publicity mongering. Do not give much heed to this goonda politician. BJP's culture is AK47.

First of all let this man fire at RSS terrorist who killed our father of nation Mahathma gandhi then let him think about next step.

How about killing Godse supporters along with Afzal supporters

First kill Nathuram Godse supporters. Who kill our Freedom fighter.

If it is proved by the police that the slogan was raised by your own ABVP followers then you will kill them.??????

All you are dhongi nationalist.

A terrorist

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
