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.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.

Bantwal: A domestic dispute appears to have led to a violent confrontation in BC Road area, where the owner of a textile shop was allegedly attacked with a knife by his wife on Wednesday evening.

Krishna Kumar Somayaji, the owner of Somayaji Textiles, sustained serious injuries in the incident and was immediately taken to a hospital for treatment. He is currently receiving care in the intensive care unit and is reported to have survived the assault, according to police.

The Bantwal Town police have registered a case against Somayaji's wife, Jyothi KT, who has since been taken into custody.

Police stated that the complainant, Namita, an employee at the shop, reported the sequence of events. She stated that around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, the suspect entered the shop, wearing a burqa and disguised as a customer, before attacking Somayaji with a knife. The employee then transported the injured owner to a local hospital via an autorickshaw.

Superintendent of Police Arun K confirmed that an ongoing domestic dispute between Somayaji and his wife reportedly preceded the attack. Police noted that Jyothi KT had previously visited the shop and issued threats.

Based on the complaint, Bantwal Town police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Indian Arms Act-1959. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
