Addressing the gathering, Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar criticized the Congress government, alleging that it was using the police department to oppress Hindu activists. He claimed that this was an attempt to suppress the organization’s activities and ideology. "The police should do their duty as law enforcers, not act as agents of the Congress," he remarked.

In light of the protest, tight police security was arranged at the SP’s office and Brahmagiri Circle.
