Mangalore, Jun 10: Karnataka Komu Sauhardha Vedike (KKSV), which has time and again raised its voice against the high-handedness of the communal BJP in the state in general and in the undivided DK district in specific, has now demand the state government to put an end to the moral policing in the region and provide a conducive atmosphere for the religious minorities to live.

Moral policing has been going on unabated in the region by a section of people citing cattle trade, Love Jihad, conversion etc as a reason. However, at the end of the day it is the innocent muslim youth, the pastors and the followers of the two religion who are falsely implicated.

“Withdraw cases filled against innocent youth from minority communities and also on activists fighting against communal forces,” the demand read.

Along with the demand for re-inquiry into Adi Udupi stripping incident and the Kambalapalli carnage, re-opening of various cases filed against Sangha Parivar head-honcho Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat for making hate speeches time and again, KKSV kept forth 22 demands pressing for formation of 'harmonious society, during an interaction programme with the newly elected ministers and MLAs of undivided DK district.

The programme held at St Aloysius Hall on Sunday had Ministers Ramanath Rai, Vinay Kumar Sorake, U T Khader, MLAs J R Lobo, Shakunthala Shetty and Congress leader Oscar Fernandes taking part and expressing their opinion on communal power in the state and the steps that the newly elected government would take to root it out.

The organization has demanded formation of a Fast Track Court to investigate the cases of large number of Mulsim youth who have been put behind bars as suspected terrorists.

Along with changing the saffronised text books from class V to IX in the state, Vedike has said that government must issue a circular stating that RSS is a political organization and not a cultural organization and hence providing government aided and unaided school premises for their programmes must be stopped.

It has asked the government to withdraw the funds donated by the BJP government to organizations like the Rashtrothana Parishat and the likes. “Further an inquiry must be held to ascertain the way the funds allocated by the BJP government to various Mutts have been utilized,” the memorandum said.

Security for women and transfer of communal and inefficient policemen from Coastal and Malnad regions, action against Sangha Parivar loyals working in the police department were some of the important demands.

The organization has said that the government has to withdraw the Cow Slaughter bill, which is against the interest of the Dalits, farmers and minorities.

With regard to the Bababudangiri dispute, the organization has opined that the Congress government must implement the directives of the Supreme Court and reports of Religious Endowment Director strictly. The Vedike has demanded implementation of Justice Sachar and Justice Jagannath Mishra reports.
