Udupi, Jan 26, 2012 : The Hindu Jana Jagruthi Vedike (HJJV) organized a protest near the Service Bus Stand on Jan 25 Wednesday, during which thet condemned the registration of a first information report (FIR) against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, who allegedly delivered a speech that provoked communal violence after the Hindu Samajotsava held recently in Uppinangady.

Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, the BJP leader, said that the people of India had to face tragic incidents before as well as after independence.

Stating that Hinduism has high regard for other religions, he said that no pro Hindu organization has any evil motive, but only tries to ban religious conversion, love jihad, and cow slaughter. Referring to Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat as the “personification of Hindu culture,” he said that he always tries to promote peace and harmony.

Speaking on the occasion, Lalaji R. Mendon, the MLA of Kaup, said that certain individuals in undivided DK actually promote terrorism. Stating that a few people have maliciously distorted the statements made by Dr. Bhat at the recent Samajotsav, he alleged that even the police have forged documents to file an FIR against him. He urged the police to withdraw the cases registered against Dr. Bhat.

Sheela K. Shetty, the leader of HJJV, urged people to mull over the question of why communal clashes take place during Hindu Samajotsavas.

Vilas Nayak, the president of the BJP Youth Morcha, said that minority communities are always attempting to use existing situations to create communal tension.

RSS leader Shambu Shetty, BJP Vice President Suresh Nayak, BJP District President Uday Kumar Shetty, Baikady Suprasad Shetty, Vikramarjunia Hegde, Taluk Panchayat President Devdas Hebbar, and Yashpal Suvarna were also present.
