Mangalore, May 13, 2014: As the Congress-led State government turns one year, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other organisations gathered in protest here on Monday against the alleged “anti-Hindu policies” of the State government.

The protestors held a public meeting in front of the DC office where a memorandum, addressed to the Governor, was submitted.

Jeetendra S. Kottari, VHP district chief condemned the State government’s decision to grant Rs. 10 lakh to the kin of Kabir, a cattle trader, who was allegedly killed by anti-naxal force personnel near Sringeri recently.

He said with this the government was encouraging cattle traders to indulge in illegal trafficking.

Among the “other atrocities” mentioned by the groups was the withdrawal of the proposed amendments to the anti-cow slaughter bill.
