Peace in Dakshina Kannada is my top priority: Home Minister Reddy

Bengaluru, Sept 3: Expressing concern over Bharatiya Janata Party’s decision to go ahead with ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally that may trigger unrest in coastal region, Karnataka’s new Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy has said that maintaining peace in Dakshina Kannada district is one of his top priorities.

“The Home Department cannot object to any political party taking out rallies. But, rallies should be held in a democratic manner, with prior permission from the department. No one will be allowed to be a law unto oneself,” Reddy said while urging the BJP not to indulge in anti-social activities in the name of ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ rally.

He said that a meeting of top police officers would be convened in a day or two and all officers would be instructed to keep a strict vigil on trouble makers in Dakshina Kannada and other districts. “In a few days, I too will visit the district to assess the ground situation,” Reddy said.

Sources said that Mr. Siddaramaiah told Mr. Reddy to take necessary steps to ensure peace in the communally-sensitive district of Dakshina Kannada, which has witnessed communal incidents in the last few months. Congress had won seven of the eight seats in Dakshina Kannada in 2013 Assembly elections.

The BJP has decided to start the ‘Mangaluru Chalo’ from Tuesday, from different cities in the State to force the State government to ban the People’s Front of India (PFI) and now defunct Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD). BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa and other leaders will attend a public meeting to mark the culmination of the rally on September 7 in Mangaluru.

The BJP’s main argument is that despite the alleged “involvement of KFD and PFI activists in a number of murders”, including that of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh activist Sharath Madiwala, the State government has not taken action to ban the organisations.
