Mangalore, Nov 6: Alleging the police department of not arresting the accused in the Neermarga communal drift case, which happened recently, Hindu Samrakshana Vedike on Wednesday staged a stir in front of Mangalore Rural police station.
Giving an ultimatum of five days to the cops to nab the culprits, the Vedike said that if the police fail to do the needful within the deadline, then the organization will call a Neermarga bundh followed by district-level stir coupled with Mangalore bundh soon.
Addressing the protesters, Harish Moodushedde, President of Taluk Panchayat said that the police have not nabbed the culprits despite the culprits roaming out in the open.
“If you cannot perform your duties then we will nab them and hand them over to you,”said Harish adding that some political leaders from the region are shielding the culprits.
“The state and the centre are both against the Hindu,” he opined.
VHP leader Jagadish Shenava said that protest which was proposed to be organized a little while ago was held on Wednesday due to the festive season.
"In the next few days, if atrocities on the Hindu community increase and if any intolerable incident takes place then the police department will be directly held responsible for the act. Some people in white (politicians) have been stopping the police department from taking action against the accused, but their power will not work in front of our saffron shawls," he warned.
Leaders Sharan Pumpwell, Kumar Malemar, Jeethendra Kottary, Veerappa Moodushedde, Pradeep Pumpwell, Puneeth Pumpwell, Bhujanga Kulal along with activists of VHP, Bajarang Dal, Sri Ram Sene, Hindu Yuva Sene and others were present.
Tight police security was deployed at the spot.
