Members and supporters of Youth Congress, NSUI, SFI, DYFI, AISF, VJD(S), AIYF, and other like-minded student and youth organisations took out a rally from the Ambedkar Circle and converged in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner.
The agitators came down heavily on BJP led state government, its home minister R Ashok and police department for failing take stringent action against the 'goons' who molested girls and thrashed boys at Morning Mist Homestay in the city more than a month ago.
Speaking on the occasion DYF district president Muneer Katipalla said that the young and educated generation of Mangalore should teach a lesson to moral police and saffron brigades, who justify their criminal activities in the name of protecting culture.
Terming the saffron outfits as anti-national groups, he said that they after committing crime deny their role in it.
Responding to the allegation of saffron outfits that sex tourism and drug mafia are growing in twin districts of coastal Karnataka, he questioned why could not the BJP, which is in power in the state, could not crackdown on such menaces instead of provoking the people.
Condemning the attack, Youth Congress district president Mithun Rai, said the culprits had still not been booked under Goonda Act even after a month.
“We cannot tolerate if the goons continued to violate the rights of region's youth. Retaliation on spot is the only way to stop such illegal moral policing”, he said.
He called upon the youths belonging to all communities and parties to keep aside their differences and unite to fight against the anti-social elements.
Ivan D'Souza, Sunil Kumar Bajal, Dayanand Shetty, Preetham and Praveenchandra Alva, Ashith Pereira, Nitin Kuthar, Yogish Kumar, and Satish Bantwal were also present on the occasion.
